I like to travel. I am a keen hiker and cyclist. I like to camp, wild if possible. I have mainly travelled in Europe and Asia.

I recently came back from Uzbekistan and Tajakistan. Hiking and sightseeing. Last week (October 2022) I cycled in Bretagne, France.

I’m lucky to have been able to travel a lot over the last 5 years. I’m always looking for new places to visit and connect with local people.

Pretty laid back. Don’t drink much beer anymore. Like sports, especially football. Finished working.

Open to hosting. My children have flown the nest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see it as a great way to meet people and also welcome folk to Ripon in Yorkshire when I am there.
