About Me

Hello. I'm 37 years old and I design and build for a living.

I'm a father of 3 lovely girls aged 10, 8, and 5.
They are with me from Friday till Monday.

My elderly mother also lives in her little house beside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To create a diverse lifestyle in my family home.

To connect with different cultures, learn about others' adventures, learn something new and useful or beautiful to incorporate into our lives.

To share and enjoy sweet and savoury dishes from around the world using fresh produce from my gardens.

I have friends who have used couchsurfing extensively and have been enriched by the experience.
