About Me

I'm Australian, I've been living abroad for the last 20 years. I've lived/worked/volunteered in a few different countries but San Martin de los Andes is home now. I have two boys and we love to take advantage of the wonderful nature around here, especially in summer. We are pretty spontaneous (so, potential guests, we are not good at making plans too far in the future).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, and have warm places to visit when I go travelling

Interests

I have travelled a lot, and I love experimenting with local foods in cooking. When I'm at home by myself I make/eat vegan food but I like to try almost anything. I don't drink - you do what you like. Trekking is great around here - short walks or multi-day walks. I make sculptures I guess. I play the guitar and sing like a sick dog...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Beck, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Nirvana, Michael Franti, the Beatles, Radiohead, Ennio Morricone
Movies: de Almádovar, de Lynch, Requiem for a dream, Wonderland (de Michael Winterbottom) Dancer in the Dark, Coen brothers...
Books: 1984, A Clockwork Orange, Siddhartha, authors: John Steinbeck, Haruki Murakami, Kurt Vonnegut, Banana Yoshimoto, Irvine Welsh

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking in the arctic?

Teach, Learn, Share

I always like learning about new approaches to food/eating. I can teach English, Spanish and guitar. I would like to learn more basic portuguese, french... more recipes . I would like to share life experiences, what people have learned through their travels and local customs. My house is good if you like making/doing stuff with your hands (cooking, music, visual arts, writing...)

Recipes, experiments in cooking, travel stories, trips into the mountains and lakes around San Martin
