ABOUT ME

I'd say I'm reasonably easy going and open minded, mildly creative, loyal and interested in the world around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have been lucky enough to 'surf' a few times with great people and had some cool encounters while hosting at our flat.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Almost exclusively positive (yes, there was the odd 'what the hell did I get myself into' experience), always entertaining and enlightening. It really does open doors for getting to know foreign places from the inside. Somehow, I am yet to meet couchsurfers/ hosts that aren't in some way really cool people. That says a lot.

Interests

I like being around people, but I definitely enjoy the company of a good book or film. A chance to travel is most welcome as it gives me a bit of perspective of things. I try to travel for work and for pleasure and both have their advantages.

Oh, and I like eating... often...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This website is a pretty good start

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you along the way with learning languages and I can teach you pasta sauces that you didn't know existed. And I might be able to show you which way to hold a camera.
