Lived in South East Asia for a couple of decades and now back in Hobart where I grew up. Have a couple of Airbnb listings so hospitality is my new career, besides my family and Irish Terrier.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have extra space and am exploring hospitality. Like to meet the huge variety of coming through Hobart. these days.

Interests

Design, architecture, sustainable living and the sharing economy. Really over the cash economy and want to get into a different way of living. Airbnb is taking me part of the way but not far enough. Living in a modernist house that needs some maintenance so learning about how to do as much of that as I can. Growing as much of my food as I can. Passionate about my lemon trees!
