I'm interested in a few adventures for myself in this next chapter of my life. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I'm keen to re-learn my high school French, that I haven't used since travelling through central Africa in my 20's).
My adult children have started their travelling/working lives and it's reignited my passion for travel. Although I always love coming back to this place I call home. Having lived here for 10 years now, I can't imagine not living close to the sea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
