I have worked most of my adult life in a developing country which has provided me with a wealth of experiences I could never of dreamed up. I have couch-surfed in many places in europe, asia and US and have hosted many couch surfers in australia and east timor.

Diving East Timor. Private chopper through Kakadu. Snow ball fights on the Great wall of China.. And then there are the amazing ppl of the world!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a couple of spare rooms in my house on the Gold Coast most of the time. I am in Chirn Park, backed onto a natural tidal creek. Very close to bus stop and shops, 600m to Broadwater. 15 min walk into Southport. I have kayaks and a bike you are welcome to use.

I live between Gold Coast and Brisbane. If I am in Brisbane (which I am most the time), I have a spare loft room with very comfy bed. It is in Kelvin Grove, vey close to the City, lots of shops and Roma Street train and bus station. Only 15 min uber from the airport.
