About Me

I run a tenant advocacy organisation based in Canberra and active across Australia. I enjoy dancing and reading and like to keep pretty fit with regular kettlebell exercising.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I appreciate the travel experiences I've had through Couchsurfing and the chance to help others. I find it a bit sad that AirBnB has changed this so much and I hope it's a community I can keep adding to now that I have a spare room to share.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently watching and enjoy 'The Wire', maybe the best TV series of all time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quite recently, I flew a celestial ladder skyward, then looked upon the face of the heavens and tattered spacetime drifted around me like newspaper out of a bonfire.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach: bicycle maintenance, renters' rights (maybe), how to store earphones without tangling them, cooking technique.

Learn: I'd like to learn about domestic politics in your country, or practise a new language, or learn about renters' rights in your country if you know much about it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Want trips on travelling cheaply? Living frugally? I'm your man.

Do you like games? I do. I know many. I can teach them to you and you'll never be bored again.
