ABOUT ME
One thing I learned from my mother is that 'what goes a round comes around' - if someone helps you then you can help someone. This has happpened me so often when I am abroad and at home !

PHILOSOPHY

Make peace with yourself and the world around you - love yourself and those around you, learn from, and appreciate everything around you.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Active when I can in Belfast CS community and I do the occasional walking tour for surfers! I host when I can - the most surfers in one night was 5! That was three diferent sets ...was cool.. people on floor too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All relatively positive to date. Belfast has a very active Couchsurfing community! If you need to know more visit the Belfast Group!

Centres d'intérêt

Photography, local history, tour guiding, travel, sea, swimming, cities, world cinema, Titanic - good wine and food and most of all good company...oh and I like cooking and a shared meal/wine experience!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue
