CURRENT MISSION

28 years having never left the Australasian region is something of a worry; I'm broadening horizons and seeing places.

ABOUT ME

I'm a geek who likes socialising.
I like smart and interesting people, I like to find out new things, I like to listen to and tell stories.
I like thought experiments, and games, and sitting around talking about random things.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm going to learn as much as I can before I go.
People are essentially interesting as individuals, and stories make the world go round.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Honestly, I've only just joined, on the advice of my ex (and still good friend), who said "seriously, if you're going around Europe, you should join this thing." I'm looking at it now and loving the concept; when I get back I'll open up whatever accomodation I get.

Interests

Books, games, music, wandering.

• books
• education
• music
• teaching

Music, Movies, and Books

Man, I'm terrible at this stuff. I like lots of things.
I guess my favourite authors would be Hunter Thompson, Huxley, Gaiman, Ellis, Savage, Tolkien, and whoever else is interesting and entertaining.
I listen to lots of different music; I have a strange and pointless love of bad metal, but I promise I won't inflict it on you if you don't.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I served tea to the Queen of Tonga when I was six. My life has yet to reach such high points again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a teacher, and know all that stuff.
If you managed to miss a primary school education, I'll fill in the gaps for you.
I can write and edit in English.
I really should learn some more skills that are worth teaching to people.
Oh, I can teach you how to fight with swords.
