About Me

CURRENT MISSION - Just want to meet people and make them laugh.

ABOUT ME

Australian who will do a little bit of travel in Europe after my humanitarian missions in Libya, Ethiopia and South Sudan from 2018-2019 and before my next deployment, lived in Warsaw before a break up. You may have seen me on the Comedy circuit. I am easy to talk to and concerned about helping people. I love meeting new people and hearing stories about their life, I can mix with all people from all walks of life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had been to a few meetings in Brisbane and Ulan Bator, unfortunately CS is not very active in Myanmar for administrative reasons - you have register any guest you have overnight with the township police, it just creates heaps of problems. Sorry not to host in Myanmar. Happy to go for a beer and give you an expats view of the city. Remember though if you do find a place in Myanmar that on tourist visa you must put a hotel on your incoming card - novotel, shangri la whatever... just be warned to do your research.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Great Wall of China, the reefs off java were inspirational. I ran a marathon in Forest Gump style calipres and then again with a full leg cast, have bowled a hat trick in cricket, climbed Mt Kinabalu and I have very often gone looking for my sunglasses when they were in my hand or on my head.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you the ropes around Brisbane and help out in any way I possibly can.
