PHILOSOPHY

Life is an adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS welcome to a berth on the boat when I'm docked - but I do move frequently. My apologies is time and place do not always coincide with what CS visitors might desire. It's the nature of sailing (and weather!).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Excellent experience with CS. Years ago I hitch-hikled from Cape Town to Cairo solo when I left school and couch surfed many times. Have accommodated casual guests many times in many places over the years. Very happy to meet new people undertaking their own adventures.
