I would warmly welcome visitors from around the world. Living outside of London has its advantages, I still love to be a tourist in my own capital City! I live in a small town in a quiet house (unless my son is playing his guitar). My family live close by, so there are plenty of people around here to meet :)

I plan to do some world travel in 2020 to celebrate my 50th year! Starting in Australia and New Zealand I plan to visit Thailand, Indonesia, India, Japan, Europe and South America. The best way to experience life is to go local, so where possible I want to meet as many people along the way so I can fully immerse myself in local life, culture and traditions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To immerse myself with local people to further understand culture, traditions and values; to experience life as a local, not a tourist.
