CURRENT MISSION

To finish both refurbishing the house and building my car.

ABOUT ME

At the age of 55, I have finally found out what I want to do when I grow up, I became a university student studying furniture restoration. Alhough I am still not sure I want to grow up.
In my leasure time I go dancing with my wife, spend time with my 3 children and my 2 grand children, play with old cars and motorcycles, listen to music, work on our house, and go to the theatre.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is full of freinds, I just havn't met most of them yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched a touring Chinese Opera perform on a temporary bamboo stage in the middle of a clearing on a farm in Hainan Island, China. The music was horrible, the weather was pouring rain, but the experience was fantastic!!
