About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking forward to meeting some lovely kind, warm people and broadening my horizon

ABOUT ME

I'm a 49-year-old translator who has seen very little of the world. Dependable, trustworthy, open-minded, but as I offer my house as a single person with a child, I will not stand for any nonsense.

PHILOSOPHY

I think you should treat people the way you want to be treated in life.
I abide by Carl Rogers' person-centered theory: treat people with unconditional positive regard, empathy and authenticity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm afraid I'm only looking to host Canadians at the moment, as it is my dream to travel to Canada next summer. Preferably West Coast as I have friends/family I can visit on the East Coast.

When I was in Italy last year, I learnt to make a mean quiche and tarte tatin from a master baker. Happy to share that knowledge!
