About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Always up for adventure!
ABOUT ME
Lynn and I have been together for 8 years and we both love the sense of adventure. We travelled a lot together, got engaged in China, got married in New Zealand and spent our honey moon on Bali. All on shoe string budget ;-) Eventually moved to Suffolk and bought a house. But we're getting itchy feet again and are thinking of moving to Spain in 2020!
We're both sociable and adaptable. We are considerate guests, who love to cook for our hosts and clean after ourselves.
PHILOSOPHY
Keep an open mind, question things and follow your heart. Be free, aim higher and HAVE FUN!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Lynn and I have surfed on a few couches along our travels, met some interesting and generous hosts and made some friends for life! We shared our stories and wine and dined together!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Only positive experiences that enriched my life :-)
Interests
I was into travelling and photography since i was 15. Diving and underwater life is my new passion I'm hoping to explore more. Perhaps get into diving photography one day? Pottery / ceramics is my latest hobby I've been enjoying for the last couple of years. Nature walks and yoga is something that helps me maintain the balance and experimental cooking is an activity I enjoy daily.
