Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Since Valentine's Day, 2008, I was an enthusiastic part of the couchsurfing hosting community, initially for companionship, but soon also to expand my mind. Since couchsurfing has become a corporation, I use it much less.
Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy being entertained by travellers' live music/singing; appreciate art-house movies and documentaries that provoke thought; and read material mainly related to my areas of interest.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Visiting many of my amazing couchsurfing friends in Germany!
Teach, Learn, Share
Always keen to teach/learn/share more about living peacefully and sustainably.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I don't normally travel far from my Cairns home (except to Melbourne for study), and due to couchsurfing's changes I am less likely to seek new hosts through the website or app.
My Interests
Bushwalking; gardening; naturism; science; environmental, planning, and social issues; healthy/sustainable living; entertainment (e.g., movies and theatre); local/family history; architecture; culture; writing; acting.
