I haven't settled anywhere in years but now I'm home. I left home at 14. I hiked a lot and I've stayed at centrepoint and youth hostels in lots of countries from Austria to Poland to Spain. I'm 54 but incredibly young at heart. I love making people laugh. And last but not least I have led an extremely interesting life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like meeting people. Hearing their stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fried green tomatoes at the whistle stop cafe. Midnight cowboy. Rat race. Mona Lisa the song. Itchycoo Park. Everything from Sam Smith to the kinks. The luminescent. My reading can be anything from autobiographical to thrillers horror to educational. Two of my favourite are to kill a mockingbird and weave world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Escaped a fire in a 1940s tank and helped put the fire out with the aid of a 1920s fire engine and of course the firemen. How could I ever forget the firemen
