ABOUT ME
I am an older gay man and although I don't like putting myself or others in a box...but I suppose your sexuality defines part of you and for those who have a problem with it it is best it is up front. I am an entertainer by proffession and nature. I enjoy people...everyone has a story and I am fascinated by the richness of the stories we all have to tell. I am thankful for every day and look forward to the next with eager anticipation.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live in the moment. We can't change the past and we have no control over the future, so we have to make the most of now and make it count. It is easy to say...not always that easy to do when there are worries about the future and issues from the past that haunt us all.
I work at being happy, knowing that happiness is a choice and that it is far healthier to be happy than lost in a vacume of dispond. I am a live and let live kind of person. I learned from a friend I met on the streets in LA that if you do unto others...they will give back what you give out three fold.
I get saddened by inhuman treatment of others and teary at over whelming moments of human kindness. I believe in a guiding engery force that binds all living things to the biosphere.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a recent resident in the Thames / Coromandel area but have no intentions of leaving. It is a beautiful jewel, and a wonderful place to stop for a while, with a rich history and an exciting landscape for those who enjoy the out doors, the sea or just sitting. I look forward to sharing my knowledge of the area and exploring in with surfers who choose to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All my visitors have been fantastic people. Very diverse and interesting.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have been a sucessful TV producer and have travelled the world with my job. But that now seems like a past life.
I have been lucky enough to meet some wonderful talented and creative people,
I have worked in a challenging and fulfilling industry...yet have I done anthing amazing.?
To me no...to other maybe...What is amazing? The answer is so subjective. I ready the profiles of people i have hosted and am in awe of the places they have been and the amazing experiences they have had and continue to experience.
I am always looking for the next amzing thing to happen to me or for me to participate in. I am sure it will come in the form of the next person I host.

教，学，和分享

That every day is a blessing.
That the best way to get over adversity is to keep breathing.
That everything passes.
That we are the sum total of our experiences.
That we gain insight by listening to others life stories.
That happiness is a choice.
