About Me

Back in the 70's my Scots parents would pick up hitch hikers and they would stay awhile, way before couch surfing was a thing. In New Zealand meeting, enjoying and sharing with new people and cultures has always been part of my life. Our grown up daughters one in NZ other in UK have 2 children each, love playing and doing activities with them especially in school holidays, which is why I'm over that way. We've been overseas a few times. I love to read, I dabble in arts and crafts, we spend time in the outdoors. I love exploring new places and talking with people. I can be self sufficient or happy to join in. We've had many people stay with us over the years from all over so I'm really looking forward to experiencing couchsurfing myself and being part of this community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Coming to Europe and I want to meet with people from the countries I'm visiting. Learn about local culture first hand from locals.
