CURRENT MISSION

Seeing the world and meeting marvellous people along the way.

ABOUT ME

I've been using couch surfing for a few years while travelling to meet new people, primarily to have contacts and tour guides in the places I have visited.

Since I settled down 2 years ago I've not used the site, but really miss the contact with travellers and meeting new people with interesting stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Not something I can clearly articulate without sounding like a greeting card. The happiest times of my life have been the simplest...laughing with friends, swimming every day, sunshine, wine, good food, pets. I hope to give more than I take and leave a warm fuzzy feeling in the bellys of those I love. Does that count as a philosophy?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hoping to meet visitors to my city (Lincoln), for coffee and conversation, or a tour of Lincoln's attractions. Get in touch :)

Interests

I like swimming in the sea, hiking around, listening to music, dancing on the beach, playing drums with other drummers, riding different animals, vegetarian food, kayaking, hanging out and talking, having experiences that make me ask 'Did that just happen?'

Im trying to improve my Spanish, any help would be really appreciated
