Alexander Technique has become a pathway to new learning capabilities for me.
I travel to Spain at least twice a year to meet and stay with friends old and new.
My interest in music has regenerated to the point where I look forward to singing with others - and sometimes just myself.
I intend to carry on teaching and learning lifelong, life definitely beginning at 65.
Sometimes I travel with my camper van, sometimes on the train. I love seeing new places, making new friends and discovering and revealing exciting activities such as snorkelling in Greece or the Caribbean, motorcycling or simply exploring an art gallery like the Thyssen or the Reina Sofia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teachers don't get paid commensurate with their skills and enthusiasms.
Where ever you go if you have interests you have to contribute either with money or skills. I am happier contributing with social skills like music and conversation.
Equally I am happy to spend in restaurants, bars, cafes and take my turn to be the host.

My Spanish is improving daily by Meet ups and reading. My current book I'm reading in Spanish is El Nino con el pijama de rayas.

Acoustic guitar is something I do daily, so I can play at Folk clubs
