CURRENT MISSION

To learn more about macropods and to change the minds of those who see them as a pest.

ABOUT ME

Laid back, great listener, skilled guide, open minded, friendly, has some weird hobbies, loves camping and the outdoors. Love driving long distances, usually to pick up injured wildlife.

PHILOSOPHY

The more questions you ask and the more people you ask them of, the more complete your self insight.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I provide space for others to be themselves, to learn about themselves and their interaction with the world at large.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have not hosted for a couple of years due to a move to the outback.

Interests

Politics, civil liberties, law and journalism, putting shit on the murdochracy, laughing at stupidity, raising furry kids. Teaching others about the joeys and changing minds.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music except metal. I like all kinds of books with a specific interest in ones that have long words to confuse conservatives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing the Maesai river on foot into Burma, illegally. Stubbing my toe on a 7kg ruby. Hittng 270 km/h on a public road in Thailand.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hosts need to be open to the learning process, and be able to think on the go.

It is probably not a good idea, to start hosting, with a set of views firmly planted in your mind, before you start. I think it is better to open your mind, as well as your home, and let your hosting develop around the needs of the surfers.

Try to be as honest as you can in your introductions so that surfers can get a good picture of the person you are, and as you move forward in surfing, be open to new information that will help you achieve a level of accepting, that will separate you from the crowd.
