CURRENT MISSION

Host someone from every continent, then country. Maybe. Currently lacking people from the Australian continent and Antarctica....where are you?

ABOUT ME

I am optimistic, open-minded and easy going. I like to see the best in people. . Serendipity is my favourite word.

*about to embark on a few months of travel, so will not be hosting until spring 2018. 😊 *

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The first time I surfed was a great experience. I realised it is a great way to meet and spend time with other travellers, sharing stores and having fun. When I tried hosting, it was also great and I have never looked back. I have learnt so much, tried so many news things and I have made many good friends around the world.

Interests

Travelling (obviously), stories, games, cinema (preferably International), museums, playing football and badminton, good food & drink, cultural sites, old old old buildings and architecture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

New Years Day, watching the sun rise over the Andes with new friends on a sand dune in Valparaiso, Chile.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have learnt something from everyone I have met. And I hope I can offer something to everyone I meet.
I also feel it is much better to share experiences with friends. More fun and longer memories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A warm, clean, home to stay, with drinks and stories and games and general merriment.
