CURRENT MISSION

To create a wonderful, sustainable haven in beautiful Northumberland

ABOUT ME

I am a teacher with grown up children. I love writing, sketching, spinning, gardening.

I own a VW camper and a Harley Davidson and plan to travel with both over the next few years. Hoping I can build up a network of contacts to help plan my route!

PHILOSOPHY

Self fulfilment comes not from competition but from the human capacity for co-operation.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't really understand this question!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I took advantage of amazing hospitality when I was young and hitchhiking around Africa and Canada. I still pick up hitchhikers, much to my family's horror. I guess this is just one step further.

兴趣

Archaeology, traditional crafts, trees - mostly trees and their mythologies. I have just planted a native English broadleaf wood with a sacred grove at its centre. Just need to wait 10 years and it will be amazing.

音乐、电影和书籍

Avatar, Shrek. Any fantasy. I have a enough real world grittiness in my life not to need modern, human interest stories to entertain me!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Climbed Mount Kenya, visited St cuthbert's grave in Durham cathedral ( don't ask me why I found it so moving because I am spiritual rather than religious), moved to Northumberland - God's country!
