CURRENT MISSION

Helping to steer planet earth and its occupants to a more sustainable and community-based future

ABOUT ME

What used to be called middle-aged - now it's young mature. We're originally from opposite ends of this huge country, but are now happliy settled in Fremantle, port to the city of Perth - the most isolated capital on earth. Gregarious, adventurous couple wanting to learn more about the world, its people, and its cultures; to encourage others to do likewise; to travel as sustainably as possible in the process, and that means not using 5-star hotels with their huge water consumption and throw-away everything.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is for today, but we must keep life in the planet for those who are to follow. A sense of community - local as well as global - is one way to ensure that happens. CS is a wonderful way to foster community.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We're new to CS, but keen. We enjoy the inter-generational exchange of ideas, so we welcome people of all ages, and want to encourage other forward-thinking mature people to participate.
As members of Slow Food Fremantle (http://www.slowfood.com/) we're also exploring the informal idea of Table Surfing - hosting meals for couch-surfers, even if they 're staying on someone else's local couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazed at how quickly we have had responses - looking forward to meeting people on our up-coming trip to UK/France/Spain, and hosting others before and after.
