I suppose I have to be classed as middle-aged, and I teach English at the local secondary school. I am divorced, and in a very happy and stable relationship although I live in my own flat in the mediaeval quarter of this small town south of Nantes. I enjoy cooking, the odd leisurely glass of good wine or beer, and conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just love travelling, and as a schoolteacher I have plenty of time, but not as much cash as I would like. I love meeting people.
