CURRENT MISSION

To love and let live.

ABOUT ME

We work to live, not the other way round. Both keen bikers - not least because it's a good way to meet people and make new friends. We enjoy travelling when we can afford the time and the money.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't know that I have one really - I just muddle along and hope to learn from my mistakes (of which there have been many!!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We began by hosting Karen from Canada when we were in Scotland and it was brilliant - a good friend. Since then we have moved half way round the world and have hosted a few of times now. (Including Karen again!)

Interests

Eating and drinking. Riding - horses and bikes. Walking the dog and talking to my chickens. Kayaking.

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE reading. Any Jane Austen, Thomas Hardy, Ian Rankin, Stephen King, Terry Pratchett. Just read "Star of the Sea" and loved it.
Film noir. Chinatown, Double Indemnity, Sin City, Brokeback Mountain, Donnie Darko, Memento, Jeremiah Johnson, Shipping News.
Music - is there space for all this????
Rock. Foo Fighters, Killers, James Taylor, not jazz or hip-hop. McGill is an AC/DC nut.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've led a sheltered life! Loved swimming the Great Barrier Reef and visiting the rain forest up near Cairns. Have travelled Europe on my bike. Rode through the Punjab on a Royal Enfield Bullet. McGill enjoyed Death Valley, Grand Canyon etc on his way to Sturgis. Skiing in the Alps, sailing off Turkey...

Teach, Learn, Share

Phew...I'll have to come back to this one.
