About Me

CURRENT MISSION

: Impossible

ABOUT ME

I'm from the UK originally, but have migrated all over and hold a NZ passport as well now.
And some people say I'm nice. Others think I talk too much. To borrow someone else's profile; this section is too much like a job application, also many people in person are not as they appear online. Meet me and find out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been hosting couch surfers/relatives/friend-of-freinds/colleagues, etc through contacts since 2001 - but only found out about this website in 2008....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting in UK, China, NZ and a little in Canada since 2001, formally and informally, and being a couchsurfer myself all over.
I've hosted a lot of events.

Many of my positive references have gone missing, as CS policy is that if a member deletes their account then all references they left are also deleted. I did have more than you see above.

Interests

Going to new places, interesting discussions, hill walking, socialising...the usual

  • walking
  • history

Music, Movies, and Books

Depends on mood
