Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am always telling like-minded people about CS. I tell them how great it is and encourage them to take part too.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've stayed in many places in my time - I guess some of the more memorable 'couches' I ever slept on include a Prehistoric tomb at the midsummer solstice; living in a ger in Mongolia, helping the family to herd the camels and horses; and sleeping rough on the streets in Venice.
Interests
Lots and lots of things. If I had to put a top ten (in no particular order)...adventure sports; archaeology; everything to do with the sea; friendly people; nature; travelling; trekking by horse; foods from around the world; reading and writing books.

MOVIES: Best film seen recently was Festen
MUSIC: Whatever suits my current mood

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Took part in a Kazakh horse race in Western Mongolia where the man gallops ahead and the woman has to gallop after him to catch him up and beat him with a stick...which I did several times...
