Overview
About Me
I'm a friendly person who loves to meet new people and make friends. I'm a very keen traveler and I think staying with someone who lives in or who knows a place lets you see it in a completely different way to staying in a hotel.
I’ve lived and worked in many places, but the climate crisis has reduced my travel recently to places closer to home.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet people, both in my own home and on my travels, to share stories, make new friends, broaden horizons!
