ABOUT ME
Hello?
I'm a cheeky monkey with a coffee addiction! I love music and being cynical about politicians. I love my job as a history teacher. I have bought an old camera (not one of these flashy digital ones) and I'm on a mission to photograph the world!
PHILOSOPHY
Get out of bed early......
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfed in Slovenia (see reference below) a great experience - especially when it came to advice on local fruit!
Couchsurfed also in Paris and Berlin (see references) all have been a really positive experience and I think the world should embrace this great idea!
Interests
Travel obviously!
Photography see www.fotolog.net/northernbirds which is my site.
Cycling (round the park not up mountains or anything),
Football (Playing a bit and watching the champions of Europe Liverpool),
Art, I love the tranquility of a gallery. Collage, reading newspapers, pastries - going for dinner with friends, dancing in clubs, listening to my ipod
