CURRENT MISSION

Originally from Sydney, now looking for the most urbane, community-minded city to call home. It's all up in the air.... but I'm LOVING TURKEY

ABOUT ME

Dig deeper...

PHILOSOPHY

Playfulness.
(or Sartre's "being and nothingness" for those that have a goatee and are into subtitles).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I maintain that it's not infidelity to HAVE slept on a friend's couch before CouchSurfing?? My history shouldn't affect us. Now I feel dirty...

Interests

Music, philosophising, laughing, great hole-in-the-wall bars (Lisboa!, London), friends, cycling, arthouse films, Turkish food, the human condition, a good breakfast, football (hey, where I come from it's exotic), intelligent minds being playful, being playful, mathematics, meeting Turks (so friendly), history, herstory, museums, card nights, dancing to soulful music.... You know, just another renaissance wannabe.
