CURRENT MISSION

See the world and its people and share experiences.

ABOUT ME

I have a passion for the environment and whenever possible have been trying to meet up with environmental people/businesses.

In 2010 I completed a MSc in Environmental Management at the University of Nottingham while working part-time at the Energy Saving Trust East Midlands advice centre.

PHILOSOPHY

"The more you circulate on your own travels, the better citizen you become, not only of your own country but the world as a whole" Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Life long learning

"There are no strangers, just people you haven't met yet"

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortuately I don't have a couch but may be able to meet for a coffee/chat. I am a member of the Nottingham couch surfing group and whenever possible go to their gatherings.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first experience of couch surfing in Boston, USA. I had a great time and it was a great experience. I hope to do it again sometime as well as try hosting some couch surfers.
