I am on Couchsurfing because l was introduced to it by a friend who hosts many visitors to his home. My daughter was hosted in Germany years ago and l want to provide a comfortable, safe experience for others. I can offer good company, a taste of country life and an appreciation of Southland.

I read autobiographical novels and autobiographies, historical books and enjoy reading. Music is one of my passions with jazz being a particular favourite but definitely into classical, rock and even popular bands. Each decade has their legends and l enjoy a huge range of music.
