Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to think I work hard look out for my friends and family and like to help people It makes me feel good

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

no couch surfing experiences on this sight thus far but certainly plenty of experience in sleeping on the couch a night out in wellington after the races and then a party at a house somewhere and they were greatful enough to let me sleep on their couch also a night out in Dublin on the source and once again I was very grateful the next morning that they had let me crash on their couch so yeh I think the couchsurfin thing has been around a long time and I think it will stay that way

Interests

I consider myself a generalist that pretty much likes to keep an eye on everything really all across the globe from weather to sports to politics and back again

Music, Movies, and Books

all kinds of music from johny cash to classical to country to Bollywood it all sounds pretty cool to me

I like to read but ihave to be in the mood I cannot read last thing at night as I fall asleep

movies not really maybe if is a bit monsoonal and lashing it down then I will watch one although I do like to watch an occasional foreign film as that is like going on a bit of a trip to another country itself

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I really am very lucky in my lifetime I have seen some amazing places on the Australian continent I have been 6 months in camper van around the north island of new Zealand I have lived in Dublin to me that was amazing I have lived in Doncaster UK saw some amazing sights there I have seen a queens day and the tulips in Holland and I have seen my four nephews grow up right before my eyes sorry that was only supposed to be one

Teach, Learn, Share

I am pretty practical sort of person and I enjoy finding solutions. I enjoy that challenge and like to think outside the square. I am a qualified electrician but im sorry I wont be handing out any diy on that front I just like to learn about the place im at from a locals perspective that inside knowledge that you could only know from living in a certain place for a very long time and the sharing of stories from your own home this is what I would like to share

What I Can Share with Hosts

if you catch up with me i will show you a place from a locals perspective some intelligent conversation and hopefully someone that will catch you up somewhere else sometime on this huge planet
