About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as money & time will allow

ABOUT ME

I am a social wroker. I quit smoking year before last & decided to LIVE! Travelling has become my new addiction.
I also play in bands in my home town. Blues & rockabilly type stuff. And a folk band on the side.
Social welfare work is my work life passion - helping people out is challengng but very rewarding.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest.
Be kind to the planet & others.
If you want salvation get a recognized guru.
Think globally, act locally.
Live close where you work & save fuel, get exercise & feel good about yourself & the pollution you're not putting in the air.
Quit smoking - when you cant breathe nothing else matters!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have recently recovered from a deep loss in my life. I am ready to travel again and live life again to the fullest. I live in a guest house atm so hosting isn't an option. I'm still available to share my local knowledge of my home region of South West New South Wales Australia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined the Couch surfing community 7 years ago, but have been unable to utilize it for this period due to illness and loss. Finally my life is back on track and I am travelling again. I feel I am coming back to life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Have a very broad rage of music interests (Jazz, blues, rock, rockabilly, classical, metal, death metal, goth, rocknroll, trance, comedy, pop, acid jazz, punk, indie, folk, roots, hard rock, doom metal, pub rock, rural rock, grunge, prog rock, and on and on)

Love music on vinyl. Love the ritual of playing records. The music just sounds better. And the album art work is the size the artist/band intended.

Sci fi movies/tv.

Love biographies nowadays.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently visited South East Asia for the first time - Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. Beautiful places and people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Contribute to those who have kindly hosted you (like washing the dishes, dinner, gifts, fuel etc).

Even though traveling broadens the mind - it doesn't mean anything until you share it with others back home.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Local knowledge of my region.
