CURRENT MISSION

on a medical rescue mission

ABOUT ME

I'm a person who would like to live a life in which I never have to describe myself in a paragraph on a website. A delusional wish, sadly.

PHILOSOPHY

Make a positive contribution to the world one person at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined CS planning to host a few different people over the summer. I hope I can be back in Sydney to do that.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Looking forward to my first two guests next week.

Interests

Love to cook. Love to write. I find them sort of similar, there is something incredibly fulfilling about putting thought and preparation and creativity into nourishing somebody else either physically or intellectually.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - I watch a lot of Australian films. I wish it wasn't a chore, but it is more often work than fun. I like to watch Indie and European films on DVD but if I'm paying to go to the cinema I usually choose big, lush historical epics or hyper-charged Hollywood blockbusters so at least I'm getting the most out of the big screen and sound system. They're never as good as you expect. But hey.

Favourite music - sigur ros, arcade fire, sufjan stevens, the national, whitley, rufus wainwright, tunng, andrew bird, joanna newsome, martha wainwright, neko case, nick cave,

Books - David Malouf, JM Coetzee, Phillip Roth, Richard Ford, Shirley Hazard, Antonia Fraser, Nancy Mitford, Proust, Jonathan Safran Foer,
