CURRENT MISSION

Working hard to establish a triple bottom line business consultancy in my home town and through it to help local communities and businesses realise the benefits that come from focussing on more than just the personal 'what's in it for me perspective'.

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about this planet and the people in it and enjoy travelling the world to learn more about its history, cultures and people.

I've met so many wonderful people in my travels so far and look forward to new and better adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in conscious evolution and the importance of learning, growing and finding the right path for oneself.

I think that despite the occasional step back we are slowly but consistently moving in a positive direction and that anything we can do to leave the world in a better state is worth doing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a few travellers at home and found it a rewarding experience and look forward to doing more of the same in the future.

Interests

I love nature activities like bush walking, trekking, kayaking, swimming and bike riding. I also dig everything arty: music, dancing, painting, sculpture etc even if I am not that good at creating anything great myself!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had so many cool experiences - the standout - feeling at peace kayaking and camping with a friend in remote Northern Australia whilst keeping an eye out for crocodiles and following a hand-drawn map obtained from a local townsman supposed to guide us back to civilisation.

Why it was special - whilst scared witless at times we ended up with an even deeper connection and appreciation to the land we call home.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hey I'm happy to help anyone with their English and have completed an English teaching qualification! I'm a good listener and friend and like to think I can usually help people find a new way to look at things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some company, some english, a pair of ears and whatever wisdom I have to share.
