I believe in life-long-learning sharing cultures and meeting new people.

I love to travel and explore: I'm a big fan of discovering new places by chance on foot.

I'm generally up for anything so long as its adequately exciting and fun. I want to gather as many new experiences as I possibly can before Im too old to regret not doing so.

How I think about things....

Share

Everyone is equal

Each to their own...do what you want but don't hurt others in the process

Protect and respect yours and others' rights

Minimise the potential for your future regret now

Put irrational fears into perspective- most of the time it won't kill you

Support others but keep time for yourself too

Balance giving and taking

Friends are the family you choose

Be understanding and don't judge, try not to assume anything about other people.

Always empathise

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I'm looking to make new friends, learn about different cultures and travel about a bit.

I would prefer to meet like-minded people, so if any of my profile details strike a chord, send me a message I'd love to hear from you.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach a little of what I know about singing and making clothes if desired
I love folk music so I can share some English folk tunes too
English phrases/ colloquialisms/ proverbs

I'd love to hear some traditional music from hosts, and see plenty of local performance.
Equally a bit of language would be good to acquire
I love to hear stories of travel adventures too

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Good conversation is always on the cards (or at least I like to think so) I love a long natter
I'm a pretty good researcher so will always show up with a decent idea of what I want to see, but Im very open so would love to hear suggestions and be guided too
