CURRENT MISSION

On the verge of a very exciting move!

ABOUT ME

I love the city AND the open country, give me a mountain or a metropolis! I enjoy farm work and I taught English in Korea from 2013-2014.

I love wild camping, weaving, spinning wool, cycling, hiking, brewing beer, typewriters and languages.

People have described me as polite and respectful, so that's fine :)

PHILOSOPHY

To quote the great Gary Snyder:

"Clean air, clean clear-running rivers; the presence of pelican and osprey and grey whale in our lives; salmon and trout in our streams; unmuddied language and good dreams."

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travelled in France in 2007 when I first participated as a couchsurfer. When I lived on the sunny south coast of England for the first half of 2008 I began my career as a CS host! I hosted Couchsurfers when I lived on my canal boat too. I love the idea of a platform that connects people in real life in a positive way, it's got to be the best use for the Internet :)

Maybe see you out in the real world! :D

兴趣

Traditional crafts, frothy coffee, energetic farm work, medieval architecture, co-operative social change, exploring coves and cloisters!

I have been a hand spinner of wool & a weaver for fun for 12 years, I am currently knitting a jumper from my handspun yarn - a lot of work! The wool came from one black sheep and one white, both live about 10 miles from our house.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Hiking the Westweg route for 300km solo through the Black Forest in Germany for charity was scary but amazing at the same time!
