CURRENT MISSION

To see, to do, to meet, to learn. To be open to new things. And to have a bit of fun!!!

ABOUT ME

I live in a tiny island, Unst, and love it, even though everyone knows everything about everyone.... I love sailing, and although I'm no expert I try to get afloat with whenever I can. I love to relax and sit with folk over a tea, coffee or a glass of something more relaxing, depending on the mood.

PHILOSOPHY

To be openminded is the most difficult, yet absolutely the best, way to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to host, but moved a year or so ago, and I'm still making the new house habitable so I've not hosted for a while.

Music - not so fussy really, anything that fits my mood. Same with movies!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mareel. (Dialect word for phosphorescence in the sea.) It's amazing stuff, and I've seen it from bow waves, oars, trailing fingers in the water...

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I know a fair bit about Orkney and Shetland, having lived there most of my life.
I know a fair bit about sailing but am no expert.
