Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A little more time on my hands . I thought it would be nice meet up with fellow travel lovers from around the world and share my love of London as well as finding nice places to stay elsewhere, I have always found that if you meet or work with people, your travel experience is so much richer.

Music, Movies, and Books

Every year I go to the Proms at the Albert Hall, mainly Classical, but I like World Music and Jazz too. Enjoy theatre, (done lots of Shakespeare, love it!) and Movies as you might expect. I take an interest in Politics and world affairs; my principle reading at the moment. I would choose "Sailing around the world" by Joshua Slocombe as a favourite book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived the World International OK sailing championships in Wakatere Bay New Zealand.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a veteran solo traveler I like to immerse myself in Local culture and history and I have Forty years experience of doing the same in London but you never stop learning, and how better to see the world than through the eyes of another?
