About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find a mission

ABOUT ME

I have travelled lots, mostly Western Europe, Central and South America but less so now that I have kids and I'm self employed. When I first started travelling I did a lot of hitch-hiking and quickly discovered that people are essentially good. That made me a bit of a hippy.

PHILOSOPHY

Selfish altruism

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A few people have stayed with me and I'm looking forward to returning the favour

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first thought is never because I've just joined the site but actually, lots of complete strangers have put me up while I was travelling. Couches, beds, floors, I've done the lot. One guy gave me a bath once but that was strange. I've stayed in a 2 room campesino shack with husband, wife and 5 kids.

Interests

Running, circuit training, my kids, cinema, lots of cinema, excess, motorbikes, beer, getting deep with friends

Books: yep, read books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took some LSD with a complete stranger on top of an erupting volcano. I was young. And it was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

juggling and backgammon?

I can also show you how to design, manage and report a research project in order to answer some business objectives but I'm guessing I won't get many takers for this
