I have lived all over the world with the exception of USA, working in Adventure Holidays and Expeditions. I am now in retirement but CEO for charity fund raisers Penado International originally Club Aral International which was based in Simferopol, Crimea but since the arrival of the Russian Army there, have moved our base to Lviv, Ukraine. However this currently is in question due to the conflict. Currently we are left with branches in Portsmouth, UK and Rift Valley, Kenya. My occupation is unpaid volunteer as required by charity regulations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people from all countries of the world and usually stay with families when I travel rather than hotels.
