CURRENT MISSION

Travelling through Spain into Morocco in my VW bus taking time out

ABOUT ME

I enjoy living in the English lake district - it's a beautiful part of the world - walking in the hills and on the beaches. Cycling through the countryside and going to some wonderful music festivals in my 1970's VW Camper.

I travel extensively with work as part of an international network of charity chief executives.

I enjoy peoples company and like being a 'host'. I'm a good cook and like to share the results of my efforts with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

You get out of life what you put into it .......

Treat people how you'd like to be treated

Carpe diem

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Signed up in the summer - met couch surfers in Glasgow and thought this sounds fun - I've just started a 3 month career break and think couch surfing might be part of my travels. I have hosted one couple and really enjoyed it.
