CURRENT MISSION

I would like to visit many countries and experience different cultures.

ABOUT ME

I live close to Manchester with my dog, I enjoy walking, reading, meditation, meeting people and traveling. Music has always been a big part of my life and I love soul music.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life to the full and give help where you can. I try to avoid overly stressful situations. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have put people up at my house and have met some lovely people with whom I have surfed

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a number of people and showed them my Manchester. I met up with Ryoki in Japan who showed me round his home town Kyoto, hopefully he is visiting me in August. I surfed Maria and Lucca's couch in Palermo, they had stayed with me the previous month, they were fantastic hosts and we are now good friends. Catarina and Anna showed me a beautiful side of Roman life and the olive growing culture I hope to see them soon
