CURRENT MISSION

My 'mission' is to meet new and interesting people and to provide a safe and welcoming place for them to stay.

ABOUT ME

I am open to people sharing my home and see this as a way of giving back. I have an eclectic circle of friends whom I love and who love me, we enjoy great and simple food together often. Happy to share them with you too. Love music and I am learning the guitar though I'm not so great at practicing.
I have 2 kids, who are both pursuing their interests in Berlin, Germany and I visit as often as I can. We also had students living with us at various times, and when it came for them to leave, they didn't want to, we keep in touch, and have met up and stayed with them whilst travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am passionate about all sorts of things, fairness, justice, workers rights etc. I love my work, I love my life. I love talking and I love being quiet. I soak up what's around and give and take what I need to. I don't suffer fools well. I cook and share food. My friends come to stay with me for respite care and a place to relax.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have only done this in Germany and the UK a few years ago, enjoyed it, and got to know some great people.
