ABOUT ME

People usually say I'm open-minded, sociable, very caring, crazy, original. They also say I have a great sense of humour and I'm full of energy.
I work hard and I play hard too, to compensate for working hard!

PHILOSOPHY

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I'm a pragmatic idealist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've hosted a lovely guy from Senegal, 3 lovely women from Trinidad and Tobago and a super duper sweet couple from Poland...... Loved having them and am looking forward to being able to host more wonderful total strangers who turn out to be fantastic people that I hope I don't lose touch with!

UPDATE: ! Pete the Medieval Warrior ;O) and Chris the Canadian Visionary Farmer....

2 months ago I wrote "Couchsurfing rocks!" on my Fb profile and I can still confirm that !

Interests

I like people, green things, animals, dancing, cooking and eating, music, watching flowers grow and birds fly.
