I love being by the sea and watching nature and like to photograph both as best as I can, just as a hobby. I'm practical and creative and love making things and working on projects. I'm energetic and usually have too many ideas, but I also like relaxing and doing nothing. I'd say I'm pretty outgoing, sociable and friendly, but I do like some solitary time too.
I'm happier in a town than a city, in a village rather than a town, but from time to time, I'm up for a good noisy night out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My husband died suddenly earlier in 2019 and I'm rebuilding my life, reaching out to find new friends and experiences, opening up my world and finding what I can learn and share with others. Embracing the positives and learning to deal with the negatives of my new life.
