About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Fly Pegasus - take me to the land of the living dream"

ABOUT ME

I grew up on a beef farm in the north east corner of Victoria. It is a beautiful area of mountains and valleys where crystal clear spring water courses out of nature. It is an area famed by The Man From Snowy River. I grew up riding horses and still enjoy it today.

I enjoy the land and in a lot of ways class myself as a rural type. After much of my life spent in cities, two years ago I returned to the country where I grew up.

When I was 17 I followed my brothers and sisters to Melbourne to go to uni. It was a lot more fun than the country and I learnt the urban way of life which I still enjoy today.

I love travel and I'm always on the move.

PHILOSOPHY

Everybody is rowing their own boat so individuality is important. However, we are all part of humanity's development so team work is just as important.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to CS but keen to become involved.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet.

Interests

I like to be guided to the best coffees, deepest red wine, the coldest beer and the coolest music.

A real favourite of mine is cooking for a group of people. I like to crack a bottle of wine and produce food for people to enjoy.

I enjoy looking at history through the ages and breaking it down to societies, cultures and even civilisations. I've been amazed at humanity's different chapters.

I don't enjoy packing my bag much, but I really enjoy getting on a plane.

Music, Movies, and Books

Book: Papillon, the adventure was amazing.
Movies: Matrix, Star Wars and Donnie Darko. Possibly because of the bizzare nature of reality.
Music: classic and quality rock n roll plus electronic, stuff that gets in your bones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in a swat in London for two months. It was a disued kindergarten where all the utility bills were automatically paid by the government owners.
The people living there were beyond description.

Also two months living in Brazil. The rich culture of the people was unforgettable.

Teach, Learn, Share

Travel and meeting new people is a good way to teach, learn and share about life. I love nothing more than delving into the mysteries of life, the universe and a cup of tea.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Brazil, France, Greece, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Monaco, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Turkey
