ABOUT ME

Fun, adventurous, open minded, Kind and respectful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To trick myself into believing Im travelling the world, without the bank statements to prove it. Its wonderful to be able to share my corner of the world with 1st timers, and just maybe make a special connection with others from totally different worlds. Theres probably a predetermined reason for all this as well..you know.. in the scheme of things, the bigger picture stuff. But if u don't take a risk and make a change..nothing changes. Im so going to travel the world and come meet all my guests again, love reunions! Welcome..
