Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Come out little mushrooms... Where are you hiding!?
ABOUT ME
Australian, though not your typical Aussie.
Living and working in Europe for the past 13 years.
A global citizen with a Big Picture perspective.
Happiest when the sun is shining
Favourite colour: green
Favourite food: mushrooms!!
PHILOSOPHY
To live is by a thought to go,
To move in spirit to and fro,
To drink the stream and taste the sweet,
To mind the good and bad we meet,
Observing all the things we see
How choice and rich they be.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Mi casa es tu casa. Always happy to share what I have... shelter, food, knowledge.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Sharing an old, wet mattress in a cave; a tipi with a cozy fire; an attic in the self-fashioned home of a modern-day Templar Knight.

Teach, Learn, Share
Teach - Useless perhaps, but I can tie a bow-tie.
Learn - I'd really like to learn about keeping bees and would love to be able to play the Harmonica.
Share - Always some food and stories (I also cook delicious garlic mushrooms).
