My parents ran a YHA hostel so I grew up in a house of travellers.

I travelled and still travel, mostly in backpackers.

Some say I look like a wise man but I tell them I'm just an old hippy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Joined couchsurfing after travelling in Thailand with a friend who is an active couchsufing host and realising what a great organisation it is.
