ABOUT ME

As stated above I'm John – your future potential Housemate.

Work wise I started with farming, truck driving and finishing concrete. Then I moved to Psychiatric Nursing, became a Psychologist, drifted into IT at the right time, became an IT Director, then Executive Management in Health.

These days I live a pretty quiet and simple lifestyle mainly sharing my house with my clean and friendly Basenji dog. On special occasions my adult children (who live interstate) are known to visit.

I like to travel. Generally I like to visit places and stay put for at least a few weeks before moving on. I do this so I can meet the locals and really see what the place is like.

Here’s a few of the countries I’ve travelled within:
Austria Cambodia Canada
Croatia Cuba France Greece
Ireland Italy Japan
Laos Malaysia Morocco
Netherlands New Caledonia New Zealand
North America Portugal Spain
Switzerland Thailand Turkey
UK Vanuatu Vietnam

I’ve only ever been on an organised tour once and on a cruise ship once.

In recent times I’ve tended to travel with my Caravan so I’ve done the equivalent of 2-3 laps here in Oz.

I’ve also been reasonably active in my life doing the following at various times:
Bike-riding Downhill Skiing Flying
Motorcycle Racing Running Sailing
Scuba Diving Snowboarding Surfing
Swimming Triathlon Wind-surfing

And have a few ongoing interests:
Drone Flying Electronics Fitting & Turning
Home Automation Industrial Sewing Welding
Writing (novel) Writing Computer Software
