About Me

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 suggestioon is to try Trustroots, BeWelcome and Couchers. They are real free networks for travelers. Couchsurfing was free and community centred but it became a for profit and went downhill from around 2009. I was Moderator for Australia, but I actually get couch surfing request about once a month. So message me here and on my phone if you want to stay in our guest room and enjoy Townsville.

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.

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.
