CURRENT MISSION

My family and i are keen to meet and welcome people from around the world and show them our beautiful city.

ABOUT ME

My husband and I have two daughters (aged 23 and 28). Our eldest daughter travelled in Canada where she couchsurfed with some really nice people. As her Mum, I was very nervous about it but it was fine!
We live in a family house in a busy part of Bristol and can offer up to two spare rooms.
When I was a child my parents were Esperantists and we welcomed people into our home from all over the world. This sounds similar.

PHILOSOPHY

Tolerance, pacifism, trying to make a positive contribution and improve things for others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, just by hosting. But, you never know, we might choose to travel and couchsurf one day.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined in 2008 while my daughter was travelling and have been hosting for about 2 years. We've had some lovely people to stay with us.
Now becoming more actively involved. I have hosted quite a few couchsurfers and they have all been lovely people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm really bad at getting to the cinema and seem to miss most of the movies I want to see. My husband and children are very keen on music so I tend to go along with their tastes. I do love Bob Dylan who was a strong influence in my teens.
I read very widely and belong to a book group. I really enjoy poetry.

Teach, Learn, Share

People who are interested in ideas and conversation.

Countries I’ve Visited

Croatia, France, Gambia, Germany, Italy, Macedonia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Trinidad and Tobago
