So basically I've become lucky enough to put work behind me for a while and travel for a bit with my wife. After a 25 year career with the same company there is a slight chance that I became slightly institutionalised so it's definitely time to see the world from a different perspective.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had a profile many years ago but that was dormant. Now that we are full on travelling we feel like hooking up with like minded people.

Let's start with the word 'Hello' and see where we end up.

Interests

I've been accused of going through life collecting friends... When challenged, I always respond "I cannot think of anything better to collect"

Just remember that some are for a reason, some are for a season, some are for a good time and some are for a lifetime.

Music, Movies, and Books

Let's just use the word 'eclectic' to sum up my tastes... You're not going to be able to pigeon hole me like that.
