CURRENT MISSION

get out and about - real things - real people.

ABOUT ME

I live in Devonport with my 2 children and a kitten.

I am hoping for some adventures this summer of both the kayaking, music and culinary type. So...if you fancy a kitchen experience, a play on my guitar or a paddle out at Narrow Neck Beach then you are especially welcome on my couch.

PHILOSOPHY

Live locally - think globally

Those who say something can not be done should get out of the way of those who are doing it.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am thinking about day trips as well as surfing and welcoming people from other cultures who are happy to muck in with my family as well as offer a taste of their culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love it when surfers offer their skills or knowledge.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's meet in the kitchen and cook
If you can take a photo and discuss what makes a good shot then so much the better.
I would like to learn to play guitar - so would my children - so a few lessons would go down very well.
