CURRENT MISSION

Mission:- to figure out what it is. The last one self destructed before I could even get to read it....

ABOUT ME

I'm all good. Most of the time. Like meeting fellow travellers.

PHILOSOPHY

It's Personal. But if you are REALLY interested, you can ask.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a lapsed couchsurfer. Not a failed couchsurfer, but a lapsed one. Somewhere about 4 years a go I decided to be sensible and get a job and work too hard.

What a fool I am.

I still jump in and out of emergencies as ambassador, but with a stack of other voluntary positions its a tricky one to juggle!

I hope that you will be able to assist me in my rehabilitation!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hmmmm...it is a funny thing. It starts out as couch surfing (in my experience) and ends up like crashing at a friends, because most of the best experiences in couch surfing leads you from one friend to the next, if you are lucky!

Interests

Anything vaguely creative, including drawing painting photography sketching ironing (yes it is an art apparently, but not particularly creative admittedly) filling in long forms trying to describe yourself (you have to be creative, I'd hate to come across as boring, ironing aside of course), postcard writing, (well, not really) postcard receiving (yes please) internet, lots and lots of any type of music particularly live performance, culture of any description not otherwise found in a petri dish, food, food, food, clothes, general fashion and non fashion, playing the guitar badly.....etc.
