About Me

ABOUT ME

I am friendly, open and amusing. I have many skills and can fix nearly everything. I like to help people and would be considered good company.

PHILOSOPHY

I really like to help people. I have a great range of skills and really enjoy being able to build things or fix or repair broken things. I enjoy the work I do and if you have something that has been needing a certain amount of expertise then I would be more than happy to assist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a large house on the mid north coast of NSW and from time to time my house feels like a backpacker's hostel. Many friends of my children come to visit on a seasonal basis. I have recently found out about coach surfing and now that I have been travelling and couchsurfing myself, I would like to experience meeting new friends and exchanging ideas. My house is about 8km north of Bellingen on a rural road. There is no public transport on this road and my location can be a little challenging for those couchsurfers who are hitch hiking or travelling by Greyhound bus. All are welcome but if you have your own transport then it is easier.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am fairly new to couch surfing but have travelled extensively several years ago before this was available. It seems like a great idea and a great way for people of different cultures to be able to meet.

Interests

I like to play sport and can do well at many different sports. I mostly play soccer and tennis but really like to surf when the surf is up. I love card games and really like to play bridge if given the chance.

Music, Movies, and Books

I generally read non-fiction these days and my music taste is more toward rhythm and blues or jazz.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most important moments in my life would be the births of my 3 children.

Teach, Learn, Share

As mentioned above, I have a huge range of practical skills and really enjoy using them and sharing my knowledge about them. I can build and repair houses, fix cars and most things mechanical. I would be happy to do or show anyone who is interested.
