ABOUT ME

I'm a medical researcher but want to change career. I like outdoorsy things like hiking and rogaining.

PHILOSOPHY

Why do I live my life? because I want to. My main goal? to be happy. I'm an athiest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can meet up with people in melbourne but can't have them stay (housemates...). I would like to couchsurf when I go travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had none, I am a newbie. I set this account up when I travelled in 07/08 for 3 mth, but didnt use it.

Interests

Hiking, rogaining, running (sometimes...), I brew beer with a friend - we're not massive drinkers, its just a hobby. I like traveling but I havent done much really.
Tassie has been my fave hiking spot, but lara pinta trail (NT) is up there too.

• dancing
• beer
• running
• traveling
• hiking

Music, Movies, and Books

movies...There are too many to list!
music.. ditto. snow patrol, the killers, creed, dido, mika, pete murray, etc. love pipe bands.
books... so many. my fave is 'the beach'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Try running down a really steep hill/mountain at full speed, its pretty blood fun.
I swam in loch ness... in winter.
The Australian outback was pretty spectacular (not uluru, but the outback in general - lara pinta trail)

Teach, Learn, Share

here's the start of my teaching:
* SleepingInAirports.com is a very usefull site. I am surprised how many people havent heard of it.
* If you ever need travel advice, the thorntree forum is really usefull. Tons of people with great advice. read the FAQ first tho.

I dont know that I have any other particular skills. I'm pretty handy with a wisperlite/simmerlite, and have knowledge of various hiking related things. I can navigate (compas, map, etc). I can teach you some really basic scottish dancing. I'm pretty good with Excel.
