About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Don't postpone your dreams.

ABOUT ME

I have been travelling around the world for as long as I can remember. I even filled up an entire old style British passport once! In other words I just love traveling. It is as much about the friendships made as the sights.

PHILOSOPHY

Never let life lose its capacity to thrill

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted and been hosted in the U.S.A!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as of yet. Im new to all this! looking forward to trying though. I've been getting quite a few requests from people moving to Bristol looking for work and want a free place to stay. I joined Couch surfing to meet other travellers and show them around.

Interests

My interests are many. Obviously travelling and meeting new people. My background /education is in the arts so visits to galleries. Although I'm a culture vulture and drawn to urban areas , I love cycling. One of the best cycling trips I've done is The Camino de Santiago. I love going to music festivals here in the U.K especially Glastonbury and Bestival and seeing live music when ever I can afford it!
