About Me

Please read MY HOME SECTION before requesting your stay!
I am a single guy working part time and enjoying my free, flexible time. I am a genuine, honest, person willing to help travellers. Hosting provides opportunities to listen and understand how people live and what their life is driven by. I am an open minded and generous person and enjoy the company of positive active people in my home whatever age you might be. I believe the concept of couch surfing includes participating in activities together as we develop a longer lasting understanding and friendship!
