About Me

I'm a huge traveler, having visited over 20 countries so far and have lived in four (Canada, Ireland, UK, Australia) and worked in an additional four (US, France, Finland, China).

I am gay and live with my husband who is also from Canada. We moved to Sydney from the UK in October 2010.

We are both geeky gaymers! We love everything geek. We have a strong preference for hosting men because we find we have more in common with them interest wise. If you are a gamer girl though then you are most welcome! :) We have another strong preference for those who are moving to Sydney who need a place to stay temporarily. This is because we dislike making friends and then having to say goodbye :'(

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We have hosted quite a few times now but have not tried couchsurfing ourselves yet. We like to meet people who share our interests and offer them a place to stay.

Interests

Games, games, games! Be it board games, video games, pc games, role playing games, card games... you name it! We are also very much into other geeky / wonky stuff like science fiction, fantasy, economics, and politics. We also love travelling obviously! And being gay we go out regularly and love clubbing but we are not crazy partiers except on special occasions like Mardi Gras or when visiting new cities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had 50cent street vendor pad thai on the beach at 6 am in Thailand when the sun came up. And it was the best pad thai ever!

Went to a karaoke den also at 6am with total strangers in Ni-chōme Tokyo to sing our drunkenness away!
