About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet interesting people and to travel to their countries.

ABOUT ME

I am a good natured person with a great sense of humour and a passion for life. I am one who enjoys making new friends and meeting interesting people. People feel at ease with me and I am comfortable in group or individual situations. I have owned a couple of restaurants and a popular Guesthouse/Bar here in Thailand. My couch is really a room with private bathroom in a townhouse.

PHILOSOPHY

To live in the moment. To be mindful. Be respectful of others and to be generous with them while expecting nothing in return.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience running a guesthouse was extremely rewarding. I met dozens of wonderful people and prided myself in making them feel at home and pleased when they returned for a stay.

Interests

My interests range from relaxing with a book to swimming and mild exercise. I enjoy film, conversation, discussing the weather (mostly this is done with the English of course!). Hanging out in my bar (owner not a drinker).

Music, Movies, and Books

Any kind of music interests me except chamber. Avid reader; although I stop at the National Enquirer - even though all written there is totally accurate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have spent my adult life working within the Mental Health System so I have seen to many amazing things to discuss here.
