I am an adventurous and fit, semi-retired English Language Teacher who loves meeting new people from all around the world. I lived and taught in Turkey for 13 years and have travelled widely around the world on my individual search for truth and reality. I am fascinated by Eastern cultures and spiritual practices and try and understand the latest breakthroughs in Cosmology, Quantum physics and relate them to Metaphysics. I cycle hundreds of miles around Kent, my home, and walk the hills and mountains of the UK taking photographs as I go. Interested in Art, music and just about anything which has some depth to explore. Single and contented these days, but would like some new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have plans to travel and want genuine experiences as I go. I know staying with local folks is the way to see new places and absorb their realities. Averse to hotels and beaches for lounging, I wish to see fascinating places and exchange friendship and ideas with like-minded souls. Also, I would like to offer a comfy bed and good company to anyone travelling to our shores.
