CURRENT MISSION

Give what you can - and more: what goes around comes around...

ABOUT ME

I am a thoughtful health professional, organised, neat and tidy, sporty and friendly. I enjoy good food, experiencing different cultures and meeting like-minded people to interact and share with. I am a big recycler and believe in 'paying it forward', hence couch surfing appeals greatly to me.

PHILOSOPHY

I care about conserving resources, and am careful about the 'footprint' I leave. I'm not big into material things and prefer to connect on a human level and around great experiences.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am still relatively new to couch surfing but think it is a brilliant concept - there are lots of expensive, impersonal hotels out there but also lots of interesting, generous people with a couch - and more - to share.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Novice, as but have informally hosted friends of friends from all over the world for years at my home in London, and have now dipped my toe in the couchsurfing waters in North America ;).

Intereses

I am an endurance triathlete and compete at iron-distance events. At home I have a garden and grow my own vegetables. I love to cook, and eat! I have sung in an a capella group for a few years and belong to a book group of six years' standing. I work hard to enjoy good holidays, and love seeing new places, meeting different people and experiencing exotic cultures.
