I’m Liz, a mother of three and a grandmother of three, and for the past 45 years I’ve been living in a lovely English market town called Stamford, and working from home as a private tutor.
We always travelled a lot as a family in the summers (and whenever possible!) and the highlight of the year was packing up the car for a couple of months driving around Europe. I continue to nurture my own travel plans, and visit my family in the different countries they’ve settled in.
At home, I spend plenty of time in our shared allotment, and often have guests round - I like to have a full house!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

These days, after losing my wonderful husband a couple of years ago, our house feels rather big for me - and since I love having nice guests at home, I am happy to give Couchsurfing a try. Two of my children have used it lots as surfers, and have recommended me to try hosting. This spring (2025) I celebrated my 70th with a fabulous trip from Georgia through Turkey to Greece with my daughter, and we stayed a few nights with Couchsurfing hosts. I was very touched by their openness and generosity, and am keen to be part of the scene. I will be interested to have other travellers come to stay, and happy to either show them around or give local advice and a bed if I am short on time.

兴趣

Reading, gardening, travelling, cooking, time with friends: the usual good things in life.

音乐、电影和书籍

I read a lot - usually novels and classics, and am always happy to take recommendations. Our house is full of books!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Many wonderful travel experiences come to mind. This sounds like a good topic for a conversation rather than a paragraph here!

教，学，和分享

After so many years cooking for my family I have plenty of recipes up my sleeve, and would love to try new things from other countries if guests fancy using my kitchen. I try to eat a low carb diet, and usually vegetarian, but this is flexible!
I am new to Couchsurfing and interested to learn how the system works, and I am always very curious about other countries and people’s experiences living there.
If I have beds spare, and if the timing works for my schedule then I would be happy to share my home for a few days.
