About Me

G'day. I will be travelling by myself around the UK and Europe for 2024. ***Update Arrive Brisbane ex Manila 10 November 2024* Update - now gave a large comfortable home. Whilst I have great friends in over 20 countries, I am always eager to catch up, share experiences, and travel stories! I will be carrying my own self inflating mattress, sleeping bag, and pillow, so even if you just have some floor space , I will be happy! I will have my own car with a lot of luggage space and room for fellow travellers. PS - it is never appropriate to ask me to marry you so you can get a visa to live and work in Australia. (This has happened too many times for it to be a joke). I have my new 4k drone with me, so if you want any aerial photos or videos, please ask - happy to make them for you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before the term couch-surfing was invented, I stayed on people's couches, in their barns, outbuildings, motor homes, boats, yachts and tents all over the world. I was privileged to have these lovely people come and visit me in Australia from time to time and allow me to return their hospitality. To have a website like this where all the organisation is taken care of is just wonderful.

Interests

Nice cars and big motorcycles. Surfing. Biking. Hiking. World travel - I am off around the planet again in 2024! Find me somewhere in the world, most likely Europe and the UK, but maybe elsewhere - who knows! Meeting new and interesting people and showing them my corner of the planet. Good food.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, movies and books change all the time, as do my favourites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flown at twice the speed of sound.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about Australia as well as travelling especially in the USA as I go there often. I want to learn about and from my couch surfers, their lives, families, country, experiences, passions and expertise in any area and why they are travelling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a great couch surfer myself - quiet, respectful, clean. I can cook quite well, am adept at washing up and tidying without being asked. I look forward to great conversation across a wide range of topics!
