About Me

I am married to Raewyn and we have 3 adult children.

The majority of our non-working life has been and is spent on our pursuit of outdoor activities and with our family.
In the last 10-15 years we have traveled frequently and plan to continue to do so as long as we are fit. We are keen mountain bikers and have traveled to USA, Australia and South America with our bikes for mountain biking holidays. Previously we've hired bikes to augment holidays in Europe and Scotland.

My own pastimes include playing drums, pipe band, rock band, hand drums such as jembe and bongos in folk band. I also play piano accordion in a couple of folk line ups.

To keep my brain active and broaden my cultural experience, I have been learning Spanish for 3 years.

At home I enjoy cooking and entertaining friends and mucking around making stuff

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We enjoy traveling and meeting people but also are very proud of our own country and like to share it.

I have a particular interest in the possibility of hosting people from Spanish speaking countries who have a common liking for the outdoors.

My view is that I use my language skills to help those people enjoy our country and in turn improve my ability and grow my contacts
