Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Really enjoy meeting people from other cultures - wish I could pick up languages instantly too. Not sure how many people come through the Wairarapa but it's a lovely place to visit. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE All good. I've hosted some brilliant and amazing people and also stayed in Europe and America with the the best. It was a really positive and exciting opportunity to stay with couch surfers over there. I know I can improve what I do for visitors too.
Muzyka, filmy i książki
Science fiction, science fact, magazines such as New Scientist, Sky & telescope, Nat Geographic. Lots of choices for music - the old rock stuff and also Celtic music esp. Irish diddley ! Love BIG Bang Theory - GO GUYS!
Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem/am
Going underground to see the particle accelerator projects at CERN. What fascinating and intelligent minds have come up with to get all that running. Also experiencing 5 full days and nights of daylight above the Arctic Circle in Norway. Took me a few days to discover what nighttime was for again. That's 2 things!
Ucz, Ucz się, Dziel się
Anyone who happens to touch the right chords within - this might change daily. Everyone has a story and I'm such a curious person I'm always keen to find out more. Like to spend time cooking for and with friends and sharing the finished product ! Maybe my Italian heritage coming out. I'm probably just a pig actually ....New Zealand food is really bland by comparison with everywhere else. WHAT am I doing here...???? I can show you the stars through my telescope - it's brilliant here in the southern hemisphere.
