SPECIAL COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT

I have relocated to a much smaller casa.

I will not be able to accept couch-surfers UNLESS they have a hammock and are willing to sleep in the backyard. Even then, I will only be accepting people who are desperately in need of accomodation during this pandemic.

I hope you all understand.

I have been travelling all my life for work in the main. While I grew up and was educated in Australia, I have lived for extended periods of time in England, France, Sweden, Africa (Kenya), USA (California), Vanuatu, Vancouver, Montreal and now Mexico.

I enjoy meeting people of all ages, backgrounds and interests. It is what has kept me young at heart and mind.
