About Me

CURRENT MISSION


Travel more.

ABOUT ME

Quiet by nature, not a partygoer. Enjoy being with a few good friends.

Love my job - I teach English for Academic Purposes to international students, so I "travel" without leaving my work place!

PHILOSOPHY

Seize the day, you only live once!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to share cultural knowledge and the love of travel and international understanding.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Wonderful experiences in Brazil. Still in touch with the people I met there. Have also hosted four people - fifth one coming soon - and they have all been great.

Met several Couchsurfers while travelling, and they are a good bunch - not simply tourists.

Interests

Avid traveller. Also love reading, writing, theatre, cinema, good food and wine, modern art, and my family.
