CURRENT MISSION

I've always been interested in the south. I wish to do a big circuit of the area taking plenty of time to experience individual places before moving on.

ABOUT ME

I'm very relaxed and kind. There is nothing I like more than meeting new people and learning about their lives. I have a sense of adventure and I like to seek out new experiences, next on the list is to become a motorcyclist!!

PHILOSOPHY

The greatest characteristics that give people as a group the most strength are kindness and curiosity. I prize these traits in myself and in the people I meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I wish to meet new people and hopefully stay in their homes for a few days and after travelling open my home to other travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a man in Japan at the subway station. He helped me get to my destination and gave me his contact information so that later I could stay at his home, have dinner, and meet his family. His kindness has permanently impressed upon me how kind people can be and gave me an ideal to strive for.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my most satisfying achievements was nursing a dog back to health. She was an American bulldog name Aspen who had been left in a car for three days without water. She was filthy, skinny, and scared. A few months of walks, regular meals, and plenty of love and she was fully recovered!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Smart phones are an amazing collection of technology and some cameras on them can see in the infrared spectrum of light. Check to see if the batteries in your remote are working by looking at front through the camera on your phone. If it is working you should see an infrared flash through your phone that would be impossible to see with human eyes alone.
