About Me

Facts about Bill:
Despite a love of helicopters I was rejected by the Army Air School because of my poor colour vision
When on long walks I carry a Nikon camera and Kelly kettle (for making tea)
At Durham University some of my essays appeared in an idiots' guide to Psychology
Facts About Sam:
Sam is a mental health nurse at heart, although she now works in an old people's home. She has skills in all sorts of areas including Yoga and meditation and a lot more.

PHILOSOPHY
Teach from the heart and not from a book
think globally, act galactically
The point to life is life...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly we have greatly enjoyed hosting and made many good friends. Especially while living overseas it has been great to host travellers and show them around and look after them. Recently we have been running with airbnb but enjoy doing some couchsurfing and warmshowers hosting too especially if travellers are doing something a little different: like walking the coast for charity or doing some very long distance cycling or performing somewhere like Steve who appeared as a dinosaur at the Eden Project!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flew my 1 year old daughter out of Australia on her 2nd birthday so that she had a the longest birthday possible (and we didn't have to pay a full child's fare (she's in her very late 20's now!)) Thanks Air India!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am running "North Cornwall Coast path walks" www.facebook.com/polzeathwalks
You are welcome to come and join me by being a paying client on a pay-what-you-feel-happy-with basis. Or, in exchange for me sharing my knowledge of this part of Cornwall with you, you could use your skills to help me develop the business side of the walks. You probably have some amazing skills to share.
