CURRENT MISSION

Whilst working I had limited time to travel. I am now retired but active and young at heart. I want to explore as much of the globe as I can.... while I can!

ABOUT ME

I am an open sort of person, and enjoy life. I seek to be inclusive and welcome anyone.
I enjoy the wonders of creation and take pleasure in simplicity. I enjoy reading. I could happily spend all my time travelling to discover new places. I think the world is an amazing place and that In our short lives we are silly not to explore it, if we possibly can. Until I retired I lived in Northern Ireland. I now live in Witney, Oxfordshire. Good access to parts of the Cotswolds and Oxford. Long Hanborough railway station is approximately 20 minutes drive away, with access to Paddington Station in London. Blenheim Palace is within travelling distance (entrance is costly).

PHILOSOPHY

Honesty, Integrety, kindness, love, Faith, Peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Started couchsurfing (Jan 2013) as a result of my son's suggesting the idea as a joke... even though most people on the site seem much younger, I decided to go for it. It has been a great privilege too meet such interesting and adventurous people. Had to pause hosting for a while as was working part time, but have just resumed hosting.
