ABOUT ME

First Off: Just a quick note, that I've only started using this account for the first time in years, so don't pay too much attention to my response rate. I've just been out of the loop :)

Originally from Sydney, now living and working in Melbourne at Penguin, the book publisher.

Used to work for a bunch of NGO's including the Centre for Multicultural Youth and the Starlight Children's Foundation. Most recently I've

I live in Fairfield, with my beautiful fiancee Annie and lazy cat Columbus. It's a leafy, relaxed neighbourhood within cycling distance to the city. The apartment is two bedrooms with a reasonably sized living room. We work during the week, so would prefer to have people stay Fri/Sat night.

I am usually out of the house during the week. I'm not fussed if you want to crash in the house during the day and just relax, I know what it's like to be travelling non-stop - sometimes you just want some down time to chill.

I've got a fascination with oddities/strange facts - like why the Indians invented the number zero, And how a whale carcass can create a whole ecosystem of new creatures and feed it for 70 years. Or that if you blindfold someone in a desert and ask them to walk in a straight line, 100% if the time they'll end up going in circles, usually ending up where they started. Or that if you cut sea coral open it has age rings just like a tree.

If you have any questions about the house, me or anything else, just holler.

I don't mind if your quiet or animated as long as your kind, a good conversationalist and listener and clean up after yourself. Like most human beings I'm not a fan of cleaning dishes.

Thanks guys,
Will
