ABOUT ME
Well traveled, well educated.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have not hosted for about 4 years but like meeting new people and having a chat
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Lots of hosting and a fair bit of surfing with others when I am lucky enough to be traveling. When I am at home it is so cool to host people and get their travel buzz and hear their stories. I cant travel all the time but it is the next best thing.
Interests
Surfing, and riding, riding, riding all the time.
I also like good food and even better ice cream.
I read plenty of books. I always have two or three books by my bed that I am alternating between. I mainly read non ficton as it gets my brain working a bit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Only one!? No way.....
Learning to surf. I've been surfing for over 25 years and it still blows my mind! And I am still completly crap at it! I have surfed with dolphins and been chased out of the water by sharks a few times, so thats pretty cool.
Racing motocross from when I was younger was fanastic
Travel. I left it pretty late to start but I will never regret what I have done. I think anyone reading this will know what I mean!
Being alive......
