About Me

I'm happy to be a citizen of the world. Travelling is the best fun, and the best way to learn, about everything!
I'm Australian and I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, because I like it :-)
After a career in Film and TV, I'm happy to teach in Vietnam, and travel as often as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm guessing this is a great way to have more adventures.

Interests

Of course I love travelling.
I love theatre, films, reading, wine, most foods, chatting, beers, interesting museums, church bells, sudoku, some children, most dogs, a few cats and most people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a shocker at karaoke!
Love musical theatre so show tunes are fun. 1960s pop. Lots of classical and jazz.
Any book, with or without words. Just finished 'The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared' and loved it.
Favourite movie is Million Dollar Baby.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tandem sky diving on Mission Beach in Nth Qld, Australia was fantastic.
Snorkelling for 5 hours (following a turtle around) in Maldives was another adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes! Yes! Yes!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Although I can cook, I don't bother in HCMC because street food is so great and cheap and available. If I find myself with a kitchen, I love to cook, so Hosts might enjoy that. I'm really tidy and clean, but if there's a garden, I might get my hands dirty.
I've travelled quite a lot and enjoyed lots of adventures, most of which I'm delighted to share.
I'm pretty good at finding nice wines to share *wink
