About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Avoid the 9 to 5 and see as much as possible

ABOUT ME

Food and wine and beautiful things turn me into a grinning child. Complex, simple: I am full of contradictions like most, and fortunate enough to know it.

PHILOSOPHY

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've always thought about creating a network of homes with friends throughout the world; I've just never been able to afford it! This site is a much wanted amplification of that idea and I'm always happy to offer my sofa so long as I've got one...
