43 yr old guy with two spare rooms (when the kids aren't visiting!).
Lifelong passion for travelling and know what a grind the cost of accommodation can be!

UPDATE - June'16 - Currently not able to accept guests as I'm moving house.

UPDATE - August'16 - Able again to potentially host though the accommodation has changed somewhat! I now live aboard a 70ft Narrowboat cruising the Canal system of England, based in the midlands. I cant offer a lot of space but it's comfortable, private and offers a great way to see the heart of England.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Used to crash at friends houses a lot in the pre-internet travelling days.
Just thought it would be a nice way to pay it back to those needing free sleeps now.

Simply a nice, easy thing to do. No more, no less

Interests

Travelling mainly. Though time and money restrict the amount of time I'd like to spend doing it.
Have been to many countries over the years. Have spent extended periods travelling through the US and around Australia.
Have also seen a fair amount of the U.K.

Always looking for more though! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learning to Scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef.
More amazing for me as I was a very poor swimmer. Just HAD to learn when I was there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Not a great local knowledge as I've not been in this area too long myself but I can offer great accommodation in a lovely house in a nice town in the heart of the country just a few miles from the train station.
