About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Strive to be fulfilled everyday, meet interesting people and make life a little better forat least one person each day.

ABOUT ME

I'm happily married and we both have careers we love.

I hate not having control of things, love to cook, talk and laugh with people. Always interested in what other's lives are like and places I haven't been.

House is being renovate so no spare rooms for now.
Work is a major part of my life, as is staying fit and eating.

I love sneaking away for a days sailing, and happy for extra hands and conversation when I do.

PHILOSOPHY

Wow would take a book to cover that but something along the lines of do unto others and never do anything you cant say you are proud of

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined on a friends recommendation some years ago when I was living in Broken Hill for work. I'm now home again in Adelaide, with renovations underway so having people stay is a problem for now .But love meeting people for a drink, meal, conversation or a day sailing

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Nick Cave, Cowboy Junkies, stuff from Studio One, Leonard Cohen, Mozart, Satie, Beethoven, and lots more

I like reading Joyce Carrol Oates, David Gutterson, Anne Rice, mmm again eclectic

Movies I like lots though not the mainstream guff from Hollywood

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran along a dirt road in the middle of the dessert at sunrise one morning and thought it was pretty special

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been working in the public service and consulting around health for a long time and know a little bit about how to work in large systems. Also love sharing knowledge about food and stuff with others.

If you can sail great, if not it may be a chance to learn as I always love a chance to go sailing and more hands make it easier.
