CURRENT MISSION

Take my first steps in Couch Surfing. :o)

ABOUT ME

I have a certain zest for life. I can be a home body or a social animal. Love to converse, and those happy silences that come in between. I spend a lot of time thinking, so I like to zone out with a run or a swim.

PHILOSOPHY

I like this line from Martial - quod sis esse velis nihilque malis. In short, be happy with what is and prefer nothing more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had a couple of guests - and I'm looking forward to staying with dome CS New Yorkers in October.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've received plenty of hospitality, especially when I was living in Singapore and returning to Sydney. But I'm completely new to this site.

Interests

My ONE BIG PASSION is Latin. I read it. Write it. Teach it. Make tutorial videos about it. My one sadness is I almost never get to speak it. But I'm mostly just a living enthusiast. I take stock at the end of each day and say - yeah, that was pretty cool...

Music, Movies, and Books

Franz F, The Cat Empire, Dylan, Doors and Beatles, LOVE Ani Difranco. Fat Boy Slim. I never seem to up with the very latest thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was sitting on a boat that was slowly putting down a river in central australia. This small tortoise lifted its head out of the water and swam along the boat. I SWEAR it looked at each person watching it and made eye contact. It was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Okay, as I read this blurb I think I'm starting to get an idea about what Couch Surfing could be about. What can I teach? Well, I'd be happy to bring along my favourite pack of tarot and offer anyone a reading. And if you are interested in knowing about Latin or Greek and Roman History and Mythology, I can certainly help you out.
