CURRENT MISSION

Started a new and exciting life over 5.5 years ago and no plan to stop

ABOUT ME

Too much to say, but a wide and varied life with many jobs, including Bank Manager, Sales and Factory management, but the last four years I have spent as an Outdoor Instructor and sports coach, mainly with children, but adults as well. This has also included school work, which led me to here in China as after some very bad experiences, needed to get away and start a new life. I am young at heart, loving life to the full, fit and energetic.

PHILOSOPHY

After many ups and downs, seeing loved one go, I live every day as it comes. I try to smile and be happy always, remaining positive, as this is not a dress rehearsal, you only live once!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Don't read so much, but love a good thriller, Steven King and James Patterson.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I can share many things about life in general and am happy to discuss things where I have learnt from them as well as how I approach life.
As to what I want to learn, well I suppose the same, learn from those who have experienced things in life that I have not yet done.
