Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to meet people from the population, and share some of their lifestyles and interests.
When I'm not travelling myself, it's great to spend time with someone who is, especially using person power.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Built a 'buggy'. Has small engine and controls like a manual car. My kids all learnt to drive on it, plus kids up and down the road.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm enthusiastic to learn about cultures, what interests people and what they see as important.

I like to be active, and am happy when doing a job that results in the satisfaction of seeing something useful completed.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My interests, stuff about my country, it's culture.
