About Me

G'day. After exhausting myself driving through 16 countries in Europe in 2024 and a month in the Philippines trying to see if its a country I'd like to retire in, I have returned to the Gold Coast to figure out my next moves.
I've already hosted in my new place and am just about booked out. Whilst I have great friends in over 20 countries, I am always eager to catch up, share experiences, and travel stories! NOTE - 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 makes it easier.

Interests

Nice cars and big motorcycles. Surfing. Biking. Hiking. World travel! Find me here in Australia or often 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 overseas, 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!
