CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy everyday ...........

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going person, can talk some days never shutting up, while others I'm the active listener. I enjoy a nice glass of wine after work with friends. Catching up with old friends is also good and meeting and making new ones is great. I love a long expresso (coffee), green tea and tofu in my omelets. I'm far from vegetarian as I love a good hearty steak, roast chicken and meaty lassagne. I enjoy late nights out and also early nights to kick back and relax.

PHILOSOPHY

Plant more trees, eat less fast foods, stop drinking plastic bottled water, recycle - do our very best and make a conscious effort to help our planet.

Have fun, be respectful and keep safe !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have couched surfed upon arrival into Rwanda 2008. It was a nice experience. I'm still very good and clise friends today with Marion. My experience in Russia and the Baltic States in 2012 wasn't the best - a lot of delayed responses and I wasn't sure if profiles were genuine from messages I recieved from people. I'm hoping my LA experience will be better and looking forward to making new friends and offering my couch to travelers once settled in LA.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After living in London for 5 years I kind of got tired of it all. I saved enough pounds and spent 14 months trekking around Africa. An amazing trip!!! I started in London U.K and made my way overland to Cameroon. From there I flew to Sth Africa where I spent several months exploring Southern Africa.
