CURRENT MISSION

To be or not to be, Shakespeare; To do is to be, Socrates; Do be do be do, Sinatra

ABOUT ME

We've lived and travelled a good few places.
We've been together 19 years and got married in New York.
Travel is a great education and we'd like to do more.
I like to play guitar and sing, dancing is medicine......and laughing.
Food is best shared with good company.

PHILOSOPHY

A favourite quote is:
A pessimist is someone who sees difficulty in every opportunity. An optimist is someone who sees opportunity in every difficulty.
(Churchill)
Another is:
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
(Dave Allen, Irish Comedian)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Still only coffee or a drink. We are still adjusting to our new arrival, Georgie, a little girl.
We will hopefully be receiving guests again soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have been lucky to have met many travellers and friends from many places and many backgrounds but the idea of organised couchsurfing is new to us. What a concept!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Very broad tastes in all areas provided it is not commercialised, regurgitated, repetitive, formulaic claptrap.
I enjoy music, (playing and listening), and cooking.
Ciara, is hard to pin down, she is the artist..........

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Married my wife. Had a new baby girl in feb 08 called Georgie.
I am convinced I saw a troll running down a mountainside in the South Central Highlands of Iceland.......I had been driving all day on a four wheel drive track getting my brains bounced about,but you never know......... comments welcome.......

Teach, Learn, Share

I am the eternal, expert beginner on the guitar.
Food culture and national dishes is something we could share too.
I will teach what little I know and love to learn new things.....particularly guitar related.
