Music, Movies, and Books

Books: The Art of Loving (Erich Fromm).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I work as a trekking guide on the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea. Last year, I walked it back to back - which was about 240km of walking up and down some very steep hills!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to learn to swim, let me know! I love sharing my love of the water with people and think that everyone should know how to swim =)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make a good coffee, an excellent spag bol and know alot of card games! If you want to a swimming or (very basic!) surfing lesson, let me know =)
