About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live and let live

ABOUT ME

Hi, I live with my beautiful fiancee in Morogoro Tanzania. I have a terrible sense of humour and am always making jokes, my other half just thinks they are rubbish. I am a thinking person and love language and doing things. We love having adventures and going on trips.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess I am a bit left wing at heart. I teach philosophy and love J.P Sartre. Live and let live is a good starting point.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, we went and surfed in Switzerland and have had surfers at our house, and they have become lovely friends now who live 2 mins away.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once stayed in a very posh house in Kenya with a guy I met on the plane. He took me on safari in a car with no doors...the lions weren't hungry..luckily
