I'm a friendly, easy-going person who loves to tell stories. I'm also neat and tidy and I value respect for others. I've been around the world for leisure and work. I'm a researcher and so I spend a lot of time with books at home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore the 'real' world when travelling and not be confined to hotels. I think being in contact with people that live in the cities I go to give the journey a lot more learning experiences. The world is full of wonderful people and CS is a great opportunity to get to know others.
