About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Regaining travel-confidence after having become long-term unwell.

ABOUT ME

My mother is German-Polish and my father was English. I'm divorced and have one much-travelled daughter living in Berlin.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a liberal protestant Christian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to meet in person - maybe over a drink or a meal - to understand you and your country. I prefer the company of someone near to my age.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met many CSs for a chat/drink/meal - some of whom have delightfully shown me around their city.

Interests

I enjoy cities and modern western art and architecture. And talking. If truth by told, I relate much better to women than men.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into dark romantic movies. French, Italian, German, Korean, Japenese, etc. Music is important to me - but my tastes are eclectic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One night on top of a hill overlooking Cebu I danced to music from a jukebox with some Iranian guys studying dentistry; in the early hours of the morning I celebrated krathong on the Ping River with two Thai ladyboys and I slept with ten friends in a windmill in Sussex, England. Three things: Oops.
