CURRENT MISSION

Learn Italian to increase my chances of becoming volunteer for Milano 2026

ABOUT ME

Follower of the Aussie Paralympic team and Gliders [female basketball team] in particular. This has taken me around the world 5 times.

Although pretty impressed with the Aussie Goalball team - will be following them now.

PHILOSOPHY

Ignore idiocy for surely it will get bored and go away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Friend recommended the offerings in Switzerland and I am now returning the favour.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After completing renovations my couch is open for business again. Now I have an enormous walk in shower, internal washing machine. Dishwasher [MUST USE IT!!] and large kitchen/dining.

Interests

Reading. Australian Gliders. Historic cities, buildings and cemeteries.
Look for the little different things out there.
Atlas Obscura is my goto instruction manual for things to do.

• dining
• reading
• basketball
• swimming
• volunteering

Music, Movies, and Books

My dead set fave singer of all time is Janis Joplin. Like a lot of things including Classical but not death metal or stoopid rap.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Caught a snowflake on my tongue!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

those that live slightly off the grid.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Knowledge of area [including secret swimming holes].

If I say please use the food out of my pantry - please use it! I do not need another can of capers or large bottle of salt. It's extremely rude to not follow someones house rules. I have a dishwasher - USE IT! It is better for the environment, trust me, I've researched.
