About Me

ABOUT ME

An almost vegan, positive and optimistic person with a wide variety of interests. My past profession was in technology sales but am currently i'm teaching business English in the Czech republic. I love meeting warm and grounded people, and exploring wonderful new places . I'm naturally easy to get along with and very respectful. Having 3 children of my own has taught me patience and how to say 'No', firmly! We can have a light-hearted or in-depth conversation as long as it's not about Brexit!!

Graduate of Geography from Kingston Uni [London].
British-born father and Maltese-born mother.

PHILOSOPHY

To worry less and smile more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our house is like a lighthouse - a small beacon of light in the middle of Europe where weary travelers can find a safe-haven for the night. LOL!! :))
I have always lent a hand to help people and that is why I'm on CS. We prefer stays of 1-2 days only as we have kids and they are always our priority.

Interests

Storm-chasing.
Motorcycling.
Racquet sports.
Learning from my children.
Traveling.
I am also vegetarian. Fish yes. Meat no :) OMG i hate butter and cream :)
I also run expats social events in my town to bring international people together.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am reading a book right now called Mindfulness. A practical guide to inner peace.
But i'm also reading 365 things to do and make with kids on rainy days!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As an amateur storm-chaser i am always amazed by the power of nature at its fiercest. I love to get into thunderstorms and experience them at close hand!

I once travelled 4 times by aid lorry from London to Bosnia during the Balkans conflict in the 1990s and helped deliver aid to refugee camps and hospitals. I still help raise funds for charity. Recently I visited a children's home in the Ukraine with 6 bags of clothes, toys, books and more :)

Teach, Learn, Share

If you would like to practice your English with a native speaker for an evening then I would love to chat and learn more about you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Being English i can share a nice cup of tea with you.

But also my British culture and sense of humour.
