Concept Art Photographer ; i some times shoot Documentaries - if you have any Photo / Acting Skills ?

I am also looking at Winter Breaks nearby , friends tell me that Bulgaria is Nice or Crete ? or Turkey
! who knows i may settle there as i am older now and my body has had a tough life and bits keep breaking .!

NO more War Zones thanks : i am fed up with them ! I prefer to Hug Trees and follow Zen !

It would be nice to meet up with Creative People and document interesting projects , perhaps pay my way on boats that travel the Med by providing good photos ? or if you have a Project that needs promoting ?

i follow a Zen Path in Life - Live 30 days in the South in Kallepia a quiet Mountain Village above Paphos - Small House - Not much privacy !

If you can Provide your Own Food - only 3 Buses a Day - but put Petrol in my Mini Cooper and i am happy to Drive you around . no freeloaders please - last few ate all my freezer then left ; Leaving Dirty Dishes for me !

I am thinking Of Mentoring such !

Photography tutor! Zen traveller , enjoy the peaceful way of life in a mountain village here in Cyprus just 25 k up from Pafos Airport !

I am semi retired and live a quiet life in a small mountain village near Pafos !

I am happy to host travellers when I have free time , I respect other cultures , having g travelled a lot myself , I recommend booking ahead and please give notice if your travel plans change as here in Cyprus especially we have many people wanting accommodation , so it's unfortunate to refuse them then have late cancellation !
I ask Guests to make their own beds on arrival and put sheets in my washing machine on leaving !

Respect my local villagers , ask their permission before taking Photos etc

Please provide your own food , or leave a donation if you use mine , help wash up etc

If you want a lift - Fine if i am free , there again - I do NOT want cash ..but my Jeep likes Petrol !

If you use my washing machine and powder , want showers etc ...fine just please leave a donation as I am not rich
And not interested in being so !

I have a smart TV ( now that to me is an oxymoron ) but it's not connected and I not used it to play music or films !
(t you are Vegan or Broke - fine - just tell me first !

After recent poor experience s with scroungers here in Cyprus , many fellow hosts have left this site !
I myself am now asking guests to volunteer to do a couple of hours help each day and buy their own food , if you ought water on forbaths fine ...just leave a small donation to go towards costs !

If you have read this far and u derstand ...and still wish to visit ..just say wet fish
In your message then I know that you really have read my profile!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet interesting people and learn about different cultures !

note ; my store room is still NOT converted to a sleeping area : Hence NO guests right now = yet IF you have 2 days spare to Paint it and put the Stove in , that would be a nice place t stay for you and future guests + i would give you Pocket Money too !

or work away welcome- if you clean and paint it- then use it !

Sad to say - like a lot of other Cypriot Hosts i may leave this Site : the Nature seems to of changed and we get far too many Scroungers / no shows People who act Entitled and use us like Taxis _ eat everything in the Freezer then leave us with a pile of Dirty Dishes ! IF you have to Cancel- Fine just Phone us to let us know please ?

I have started to leave HONEST negative feed Back about poor experiences ; Even though as expected i get Negative feed back too ! At least the Next Host can know and put in limits ! If you see Bad comments from Folk who never even met me ;-) - Judge for yourself please !

Wet fish

Many of my guests have helped out a bit in our community , that has been greatly appreciated !

Hung out with Dr Timothy Leory ; in Los Angeles - 1980s- a time was had !
