About Me

PHILOSOPHY
Philosophy is a wonderful subject, but you need to live the day, follow your dream till you find it or sometimes a better one comes along. Enjoy the journey, Learn from your experiences & the people around you. Don't wait too long or you will look back and regret what you didn't do. Age is no excuse or barrier.
Spiritual not religious. Motivate other people to live their best life. Random acts of kindness can change someones day or life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I usually host up to 3 nights because I work and sometimes I work weekends.
Couch surfed Europe 2011 & 2015. I like to meet people & exchange ideas/views and understand their country & customs. I believe if you surf you should host
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I surfed in southern Italy , Amsterdam and Barcelona on my 1st tour to Europe
Looking for some hosts in Italy for June 2015.
Only joined couchsufers early 2011 and hosted a few people till I travelled overseas. In hosting I think coach surfing is amazing, I've found couchsurfers to be happy friendly respectful people with a passion to travel and learn and genuely wishing to share their travel experience. We have more similarities than differences.
I enjoyed countries more when I couchsurfed instead of just being a tourist. In Latvia I met my relatives, couchsurfed in Stockholm with a friend and then couches across Italy & outside Barcellona
