CURRENT MISSION

Being grateful for what I have and open to new possibilities.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy meeting a variety of people. Different ages, sexes, cultures, outlooks. Curious about what connects us, what separates us, and the dynamic in between.

PHILOSOPHY

"I only have to allow the soft animal of my body love what it loves" - from the poem Wild Geese by Mary Oliver.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have mostly hosted and enjoyed opening my home to travelers. And the little surfing I have done offered me that quite different experience of treading oh so sensitively and gratefully into someone else's home and life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Almost always been positive, meeting people willing to share as much as they take (more or less). However every now and then someone arrives, eats my food, drinks my beer/wine, takes whatever is on offer, and gives very little in return. Please don't request a visit if that might be your way of doing life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day I opened to the amazing greater force that surrounds me and experienced.... 'magic!'. The interconnectedness of everything.
