Overview
About Me
Dear fellow surfer 🏄♀️ I would like to start by thanking you for stopping by, I hope you will find a good Host/ Guest in me!!
I’m an extrovert who thrives on human interaction( no offence to animals, I do approach a street cat when I see one)
I’m a workaholic and have worked in many industries over last 15 years from cleaning toilets, being a paper boy to working for one of the biggest independent cycling retailer in the country as a manager.
When Im not working, Im either on my Bike, running ( I hate running) , playing badminton( I played semi pro once upon a time), playing Tennis or meeting friends and cooking for them.
If you’re staying with me I can promise you an inflatable mattress, good conversation and food and some whiskey 🥃 or a beer 🍺
In return I demand your travelling stories, attention and honesty!!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
A close friend introduced me to CS idea, and needless to say despite my skepticism, after “proxy” hosting I quickly realised the potential of meeting amazing souls from around the globe and making new international friends.
I hope I will be able to provide comfort, good company, delicious meals and tour of my beautiful city.
Interests
Food, I love sharing recipes and cooking delicious (hopefully) dishes for others !!!
Cycling is my passion but don’t worry I’m not a snob(or at least I’d like to think so) , let’s just say, if you’re not into bikes, I will bore you to death with cycle talk 🤪
Ok seriously…. My interest is People!!! I love chatting, learning how amazing each one of us are in our own ways, sharing ideas and opinions and knowledge about everything and anything.
