CURRENT MISSION

Some people work to live, some live to work, others work to go travelling.

ABOUT ME

Very laid back and easy to talk to, makes an ideal host IMO

PHILOSOPHY

How do the lyrics from that song go - We're her for good time not a long time.

Try to enjoy everything you can from the extreme to the simple. You can get just as much pleasure from white water rfting, as you can from sitting in a cafe with a good book, strong coffee and a vantage point for some qulity people watching, just as long as you let yourself enjoy it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We try to put up everyone we can and really enjoy hosting people, we have done more hosting than staying but just enjoy meeting people and helping them to enjoy their travels as much as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not loads
We have hosted 6 times and been hosted once, each time has been unique, fullfillng and very special to us.

Interests

We are outdoor people and love camping and walking out in the mountains, I also love to get out on my bike s much as possible.

We are music lovers and go out to music festivals every year we can, but mostly it's the simple things, good pint nd good paper will keep me happy for an age.
