关于我

CURRENT MISSION

have more fun! connect with different people.

ABOUT ME

We like people with the time to talk to us and share experiences about their life and homeland. We are Lotsa fun with insatiable curiosity. open minded and non judgemental. Both kinda geeky and hi tech. Paul Likes animals and babies, Margie likes everyone. One of us (Margie) is an accomplished musician (grand piano,) the other is a good cook and bon vivant.
We love to travel and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

If people don't like animals I don't generally trust them. If my dogs don't like a person, I always trust them.
Live and let live, love and be loved, love one another.
"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I, I took the one less traveled, and that has made all the difference".
"Any random turning along the way and I would have been different".
"Life offers you a thousand chances. All you have to do is take one".
"You will get old, you may even grow ugly, but as long as you can cook, your friends will find the path to your door."
"It is a sin to judge the worth of a man by his status or position in society".

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We like to host and travel, for hosting, a day or two works best, and we look for interesting people who can bring insights, good conversation and new cultures (and ideally like food and good conversation!). We have a large apartment in an ancient (1690 house) in the middle of a medieval city (Warwick). Come and stay, we are 250 yds from Warwick castle http://www.warwick-castle.co.uk/ and 15 mins from Stratford Upon Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with Irma in Michigan; Fantastic bubbly person!. Also had Viktoria from Moscow, perfect guest, interesting and nice! Had Roger from Autralia, who was very interesting, Scotty, a Canadian, and recently Jorge and Mirta from Spain; All very interesting people!
Also started the Warwick couchsurfers group, of NICE people!

Great cookbooks. Sewing and creativity. We usually read 2-3 books a week each. We don't have TV(!), but do have plenty of DVD's.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Been a lot of places, most of Europe, and the far east (HK, KL, Singapore), worked in Australia, Mexico and Egypt, plus lived in the USA (Philly) and UK. Been around. Amazed by my kids being born, by the sights of nature and the goodness of the human spirit.
