I am a mountain addict.
I get paid to build things out of carbon-fibre.
Sometimes I design and build snowboards.
I am a fan of life, nature, partying and peaceful relaxation. I love music from ancient plainsong to wonky electronica. I play guitar, DJ and produce my own electronic music in my spare time. I have studied Chinese martial arts and should probably get into practicing yoga... I love good, fresh vegetarian and vegan food. Fresh ground, filter coffee is my favorite way to start the day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have used a couple of other famous sites for my business travel. I'd like to try something with less emphasis on business and more on people. I cannot offer accommodation at the moment as I am working away from home.

Made a baby. She's seventeen now!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have worked in schools and as a private tutor. I have taught guitar, martial arts and worked as a learning support assistant for children with special needs. I enjoy learning from life and the people around me. I am a very open cynic..

What I Can Share with Hosts

Snowboard/ski trips. Guitar lessons. Introduction to Ving Tsun kung fu. Respectful, friendly company. I can prepare a vegetarian meal for my hosts; Indian and Mexican foods are my favourite things to cook. I love naga and reaper chilli. :)
