I have used CS a lot in the past but have not been on here in years!
Am curious if much of the incredible community that I have met through the site still exist.
I live in a cottage in the middle of the country, i grow most of my own fruit and veg, cut my own fuel live quite self-sufficient, don't have a fridge but have a compost Toilet ( I think this is a great filter for screening out the people who are not open minded)🤗
I love the outdoors and the earth, don't vibe with those who abuse it, I have seen to many amazing things to want to loose any of them. Am interested in the environment,nature stuff like that.
And I love real connection with people
I am still studying in the school of life!
Sometimes i don't pass the exams life gives out and have to start over like everyone else.

Some of the things i am interested in are the following list. These things just popped into my head,

What else?
I Like connecting with interesting people.
Honestly is big for me.
My opinions are not that fixed.
Love a chat or debate that changes my view on something. (in person, not online)
I hate typing, so the rest we can do by talking! :)

PHILOSOPHY
Live light, travel light, be the light

Feelings? Depends where you feel me, I am very ticklish!

My thoughts? Don't go there! Anyone know how to switch them off!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spread the CS word to everyone I can.
Where I live is not really a big attraction to travelers. When I am home please come say hi.
I started the Athlone group, it's not very active, we only had a few meetings but it is a start.
I would like to build my own eco house and open its doors to CS.
