CURRENT MISSION

To visit as many new places as possible in 2 years

ABOUT ME

I have been travelling on this journey for 17 months, covering NZ, Australia, South East Asia and now India. As a person people tell me I am fun, dependable, sometimes loud, likes a laugh and a beer, too serious at times.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life to the full but not at the expense of others. I have raised a son of whom I am extremely proud and am now taking some time out for me, to widen my personal experiences, do things way off the domestic track and share with those tied to jobs, families, commitments and insecurities back at home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Absolutely none beyond hearing really good things from experienced surfers

Interests

I am absolutely loving travelling around parts of the world, seeing the sights, learning new cultures and meeting people. Enjoy reading, trying to forget about work until I have finished my travels, mentoring my son in his new business ventures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most movies and music hit the spot and for literature I prefer witty, sharp and amusing books along with more crime focus from the likes of Robert Crais or Lee Childs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wedding day, son's birth, Machu Picchu jungle trip, recent skydive in New Zealand + others!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have many years experience from the school of hard knocks, I am competently practical and can turn my hand to most things. I have a generally sunny disposition and a "glass half full" mentality. Recently well travelled with a pretty good memory and an eye for anecdotes I am a small font of eclectic knowledge that I like to share (hopefully my pearls of wisdom and received as enthusiastically as they are delivered).
