About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world and share in as many experiences. To give back.

ABOUT ME

Easy going traveller and citizen of the world. Can take downtown or anything less than that in my stride. Not afraid of change or things unfamiliar to me.

PHILOSOPHY

Feel that people are the same the world over and it is only man's insanity which puts distress and differences on and between us. A smile, food &drink, family, shelter and a belief system seem mostly universal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Providing the opportunity for a meal or a visit to some of the places out of town which are difficult to get to without transport. Basically a car/drive host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some really interesting folks from around the world. And yes, have couch surfed in India which, when I told folk of my own demographic, where and what I was going to do .... one of the better experiences and decisions I have ever made.
