Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I have been an Hospitality Club member since 2003, when CS didn't even exist and this all online hospitality thing was totally new! I immediately fell in love with the idea, met a lot of cool, interesting people, made new friends and discovered a whole new way of traveling... so, obviously, I couldn't but join CS as well!

One Amazing Thing I've Done
- I saw Mt. Everest and the Himalayas from a small plane at dawn and almost cried from how beautiful it was - I sang with locals around the fire on a beach in Madagascar - I saw grizzly bears catching salmon at Brooks Falls in Alaska - I stood at the Cape of Good Hope for a few minutes with no one else around, just breathing and listening to the overwhelming sound of the waves - I trekked to the base of Fitz Roy in Patagonia, maybe the most iconic mountain ever!
My Interests
Music! I (try to) play the piano,the drums and a bit of guitar! I particularly love jazz and progressive rock. I also like reading, sailing, skiing, golf and tennis. I'm a big fan of british comedy and culture.
