I’m a writer on the road at the moment travelling around the Mediterranean after two years of study back in my home city of Naarm (Melbourne).

I into the arts that spring from the written word but also throughly enjoy the spoken word especially when I involves a few good comrads and some reasonable wine around a wooden table some where in the world. Could I be that perhaps we learn more from others than.. books. Though books are mightly important too.

While I’m on the road I’m keen on meeting the good people and learning from one another and eating some good food at the end of the day.

I’m against the Genocide of the Palestinians by the Israeli’s and really against all states and power that oppress and exploit any peoples, but especially indigenous peoples.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I love to teach a few folk traditional songs to people on the guitar. I can tell you alot about the strange land of Australia where I come from.

I learn through many avenues. I deep enjoy having long conversations with people over coffee and wine and learning through this medium. Then there is learning through experience, so if I am with people we can enter the world and explore it together and continue to learn about the mysteries of the human psyche and the external world it shapes.

All we have is a small amount of time to share together and use it well, it is so precious. So I will share my time with you, perhaps we will talk, over long meals, that I can prepare as you rest and drink wine. We can then hit the streets and go dancing if the night calls for it.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Someone who values the archetypes of host and guest immensely. I am thoughtful and respectful, aware that it is a great gift of be hosted by another. I will offer an act of service in a meal and perhaps a small gift of gratitude for the time spent together. I also am aware that we all need our own space to live and restore ourselves.
