About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to start making plans

ABOUT ME

I'm not sure what to say. I am very British, I don't like hugging strangers. That said, I do like being around people, enjoy a party but am also happy just to sit and read a book. I am a bit of a neat freak! Also, I don't think I have any house rules, but actually I do. A lot!!
Also, there is never any food in my apartment and I don't cook!

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you happy. Life's too short not to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For a few years I hosted in Hokkaido, Japan. I saw the other side of the coin when I surfed in the U.S. Then I stopped travelling and hosted in Vietnam. I now find myself back in Hokkaido, with a small apartment which I'm happy to share with passing travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fell in love with Texas because of the CSer's there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sat in a hot spring, with friends and watched the moon set. Perfect!
