I live in the countryside in a beautiful area of North Yorkshire - I enjoy walking and am happy to introduce guests to the area. I have two grown up children who no longer live at home, so I can offer their rooms.

I paint and write and teach creative writing.

NB. I have a cat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
