CURRENT MISSION

The world is a book, and those who do not travel see only a page

ABOUT ME

I'm a housetrained Australian guy who lives for travel,good food and time with friends. I'm interested in the more unconventional side of life, so if you're a little bit whacky, a little bit spiritual or a philosopher at heart, we'll get along well.

PHILOSOPHY

These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
Groucho Marx

Art is long and life is short! Our hearts, though stout and brave, still, like muffled drums, are beating funeral Marches to the grave.

In the world's broad field of battle, In the Bivouac of life, be not like dumb, driven cattle. Be a hero in the strife!

Longfellow

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, I'm a noob, but several good friends said CS was great.

Music, Movies, and Books

I will watch, read or listen to almost anything. I like films to have a clever script, music to be big and instumental, and books to have nice pictures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 1999 I was in the right place at the right time to see Leonid's Meteor Shower in the best viewing spot on earth...Mt St Catherine on the Sinai Penisular. Best celestial fireworks ever.

And...celebrating Holi in India in 2000...my entire tour group and I dressed up, armed ourselves with Dye and Powder and hit the streets of Agra in autorickshaws.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to free yourself from the web that consumer goods and marketing attempt to snare us in. There is amazing depth below the superficial surface that most people live on!
