Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a restful house on a secluded beach with two spare rooms availabe to travellers in need of sand between their toes and the sound of the surf in their ears.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few years on and I've hosted some interesting folk.Some have returned several times and have become old friends.
I travel for a month or two most winters but, you know, I've never couch surfed.I think I'm a bit shy.This year I'm going to do it so watch this space!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lost at sea (what doesn't kill you makes you stronger)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a pretty practical sort of guy who know's about building and growing things and going fast downhill on my bike.

I think I'm actually pretty sensitive.I want to be open to change.
