About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To offer respite to wary travellers a rest in french corner

ABOUT ME

A veteran of the roads and oceans, I choose to get lost where I am now. A backpacker from way back. I became residential to raise a family in The land of OZ. I am turning my life around to get back on the roads again...

PHILOSOPHY

I refer to philosophy more than religious dogmas. But I prefer the sum of my thinking as I am creative by nature.
I feel marginally integrated to the world around me and would think of myself as remote and aloof to most people. I like to to mix with singular thinkers. I do not take with ease at religious cranks. And I do not handle for too long people who do not respect my place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have traveled since very young with my parents. One of my early episode was to be with them in a lost place in Nicaragua during the reign of the Somoza dictatorat in 58. Far from anything from the "real world". I went to far away places where misery and ignorance was the norm.
I went to place to be higher then the mountains..... But having a large family has been the real challenge....

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to be able to help people to have an easier time in Australia by informing them of the dos and do not so they can save time and money. To host some of my fellows travelers in sharing what I know of the great immediate region I live. I like to learn from the life experiences of people generally.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences as a world traveller , Cultural topics, musical interests, cooking, drinking, cheap living... I have a rather unique sens of humor based on my life experiences beside my numerous social blending. Never a dull moment to share with other movers and shakers ... I recently became widowed . My taking back the road is a sort of spiritual reinforcement of the now living and living for the now moment ...
Non smoker but love to share drinks and food.
I enjoy meeting people from any age or walk of like anywhere. We all have a story to tell ....
