ABOUT ME

75 but very young at heart. For the first time in a long while I am lodger free and not travelling again until next year. I do not smoke and try to live a healthy, active life and dance a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

Do it now - because you´re a long time dead!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, sharing experiences - helps me develop new ideas for my travels - showing guests my city

Interests

My passion is dancing - salsa, ballroom, Ceroc, rock & roll etc etc. I also love to walk the many long distance paths which we have in England and Europe. I do a lot of voluntary work. This leaves a little time for reading, gardening and spending time with friends.
