About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be :)

ABOUT ME

rraaagh!

oh, you know... enjoy meeting people with open minded views on the world... I love the outdoors, a coffee, a bike ride, camping and all other sociable activities.

I am a primary school teacher and many other things but that's the one that pays the bills.

I love hearing fellow humans' views on life, happiness, love, fear, freedom and anything that we all have a common experience in...let us share, learn and evolve for the better :)

PHILOSOPHY

This changes as much as I change my underwear. Right now however it is simply 'to be...and be it well' :)
I find that it answers the all important 'who am I, what am I doing here' question, especially in the ephemeral world that we live in.
However, to 'be', one must first know their self. And this, this is the journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have my own lil' place now so I can begin hosting those who have hosted myself. Looking forward to connecting to fellow humans :)

Couch situation - right now you will be in the living area. there is a L shape couch (see photo) and a sofa. You will stay on one, whilst I stay on the other (if 2 CS's, then you can fit 2 people on the sofa.

There is also my friend whom is also around, she's cool, a project manager and is temporarily staying here. We are good friends and both easy going.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed a few times over the years, given advice here and there but now since I got my place, I'm looking forward to getting some hosting experience.
