About Me

I was born on a sheep and dairy farm in Devon England but because my father was in the RAF we travelled a lot. Started Kindergarten in Germany, back in the UK by my 5th year. When I was 10 yrs old I was in Singapore til I was 13. When I was 18 my parents sent me to the USA but I returned to the UK when I was 21. Didnt re-emigrate to the USA until I was 31 and stayed until Sept 2014.

Oh, did I say I was old? Well, sort of old (it all in the mind, but the body does ache now and then) I'm 68. and I'm travelling the world for 9 to 12 months. Currently in Melbourne Australia and I've just spent a week in Bali. Leaving OZ in Jan 2015 for Asia and plan on being in Europe and UK around April, but first I have to get to NZ.... so many places eh?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm curious. It keeps coming up in conversations with people I have met in my travels, plus, when I finally return to the USA (I think I'll be returning to California, but who knows?) I would like to be a Host.

Interests

Photography, travel, and trying to figure out why the heck I bought an Ipad! These things dont have usb ports!

  • photography
  • cooking
  • traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

oh golly! I'm hopeless with names. Les Miserables is a fav, does that give you an idea? Bruce Springsteen, Abba .... ok, ok, I did say I'm old, so live with it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sold just about everything I own, house, truck, furniture, all my watercolour paints (but not canvases), so now I'm "homeless" and at 68 yrs old I'm travelling the world, going to complete the travel by the time I'm 70, I think. Is that amazing, or what? ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a happy friendly, at times shy, person, who is a hopeless cook, but I can take you out to dinner.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Belgium, Hong Kong, Italy, Malaysia, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Tanzania
