I love to travel and have been all around Europe. Have a love of animals and funny old French cars. Love to meet new people and explore new places. My son Bob is now 19 and also starting to travel alone. He loves photography and animation, travel and urbex

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been helped out loads by people in the past even before CS so want to extend the same courtesy to fellow travellers. When we are travelling we both feel the best way to truly see a country is through the eyes of those who really know it and there is always a warm welcome.
