CURRENT MISSION Wish I could tell you - but the tape self-destructed before I could listen to it! ABOUT ME 54 yrs old (young) - Hey, the 50's are the new 30's. My friends think I'm great company, my work colleagues reckon I'm intelligent, my mom thinks I'm handsome (well, at least that's what she says!). I don't drink too much, nor take drugs. I get my 'buzz' out of every day living. I don't judge others though. Can't seem to stay in one place too long these days - Currently living on Costa del Sol, Spain. Have also lived in Cheshire (UK), Chicago, Florida, Texas, Devon(UK). Been in Spain for two years. Taking off on a Round World Trip, commencing August 2008. Route: S. America, Australasia, Indochina and India. Spending 3 or 4 months of the trip volunteer working in Siem Reap, Cambodia. My travel blog can be found here: http://woz.typepad.com/ I'm quite well 'housetrained'. I live in a clean and tidy manner and respect other peoples homes. I do enjoy a cigarette - but always respect other's wishes if they don't. I wouldn't smoke indoors - I don't even smoke in my own apartment. I don't mind doing my share of cleaning/ shopping / meal prep & washing up. I am capable of doing my own laundry and ironing. That's not an invitation to have loads of either ready for me on arrival though ;-) Have 3 kids - Girls of 24 and 21. A son of 15. They all live in the UK with their mum. We all have good contact and get on well. PHILOSOPHY I've got to a stage in life where I really do enjoy each day. I have no particular 'baggage'. I am comfortable with what I do and how I live. I'm a firm believer of the saying 'If you remain flexible - you won't get bent out outa shape' Youth is wasted on the young!

Почему я на Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I love to meet people and understand different cultures and lifestyles. That's my main joy of travelling. When I'm back in Europe next year - I'll be more than happy to reciprocate hospitality. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Not long joined this project - I have already hosted my first CS'r - it was everything and more I could have hoped for. Had a fantastic time hosting a couple from Australia - who I'll be staying with later this year.
Музыка, кино и книги
Any decent thriller - movies and books, that is. Favourite authors: Leon Uris, G.F Newman, Nelson DeMille, Bill Bryson, Michael Connelly. Music - anything from the years of 'The Doors' to 'Coldplay' Have a real soft spot for Chicago Blues, though.
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
Too many great things in my lifetime to list here. Being at the birth of my first child takes some beating though - even if I only got in the way of things!
Учить, учиться, делиться
Teach: We are all teachers! I can maybe help with English - I have a TEFL/TESOL certificate. I am quite good with computers and can maybe help my hosts with problems. Learn: We are all learners! I still have so much to learn from others - how different cultures live their lives. I am also still trying to understand the 'Circle of 5ths' in Music Theory - if anyone can help! Share: We are all sharers! I can share many funny (but true) travel / work / life experiences - maybe while sharing time with a beer or a coffee in hand.
Мои интересы
Travelling (naturally!), I enjoy reading, movies, sightseeing (but not necessarily tourist traps), photography. I enjoy all forms of music - especially live gigs. I'm currently learning to play the Saxophone. But don't worry, I won't be bringing it along!
