Want to meet or be hosted? Please message me here AND Wechat/Whatsapp/SMS 0432170578 (+61432170578) I love to host people that are openminded and into spirituality/life/nature. Another suggestion is to try Trustroots, BeWelcome and Couchers. They are real free networks for travelers. Couchsurfing started as free and community centred platform but became a for profit company and went downhill. Please Message me here and on my phone if you want to stay in our guest room and enjoy Townsville. You are expected to have a certain level of maturity though ok. CS isn't free, it's an exchange. There are many ways you can contribute back. Traditionally guests would cook, help around house or something. CURRENT MISSION 欢迎ようこそ환영 (-: Relax, stay happy and patient :-) ترحيب

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I like helping people, it makes me happy. I like meeting people. I like learning what motivates people and how we are similar in some ways but totally different in others. BIG TIPS: Everyone has their different motives. I strongly suggest trying to find out the person's motive before surfing/hosting. Is it: -Free accommodation, Friendship, Desire, Language exchange, Culutral exchange, Something to do/try, or maybe they simply love sharing their big house cause it's big and they want company. Everyone has their motives. By determining motives you can increase safety and your experiences. :-) Me, I think it can be fun through meeting people, there is so much opportunity to learn, share, care.
Music, Movies, and Books
Currently have Trevor Hall, Cercle, Bob Marley and Chet Baker (Classical Jazz) on my music player.Just read "White Tiger" (Indian entrepreneur), & reading "3 Cups of Tea" (X-climber Building schools in North Pakistan)
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Spoke on TEDx about global communities (including Couchsurfing), spoke a second time about pursuing dreams, and a third TEDx as Co-Host and speaker coach.
Teach, Learn, Share
Processes, pathways, possibilities, Clients pay me very well to have regular conversations with them. You can have it for free but no talk about the weather, politics or news.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Normally I have a spare room for guests.
My Interests
:-) being happy, sharing laughter and smiles
