About Me

CURRENT MISSION

....if I choose to accept it

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Donnybrook, a small town in the south west of Australia. It was named after an Irish term meaning 'drunken brawl'. My horse Muffy once kicked me in the face once at Pony Club. I got to ride on the stretcher like my Dad did when he got knocked out playing footy. I wish I could remember what the stretcher-ride was like, I was without sensation at the time. I bet it was good though.

I moved away from home after school, travelled and am still travelling when I can.

I have a seriously beaut house in Perth, with a seriously welcoming couch. Have heaps of great friends. And a cool local pub in Australia is just down the road. I got out to see theatre and do comedy/impro every week. I work at The Art Gallery of Western Australia casually when I don't have a gig and happy to help you explore if I've got a free day.

I have a dog, his name is Moose. He loves people and you find it hard not to love him back.

PHILOSOPHY

Chasey Rule NO#1: Fat kids are easier to catch. They tire easily and have weak knees.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a couple of surfers, but I am yet to surf on someone's couch from couchsurfing.com

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to Couch Surfing, but am quite well-rehearsed at sleeping on couches. Because of this, I know that my couch is good to sleep on. I have several friends that can vouch for this.
