CURRENT MISSION

To see 100 countries before i die (currently at 81)

ABOUT ME

I am who i am, as Popeye once said. I enjoy and laugh and don't take myself too seriously. The more one travels, the more one learns.

I work in full time in Broadcasting in West London. I like running by the River Thames, which is very pretty near where I live. I also like exploring the amazing city that is London, and learning all the little bits of history here and there.

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am open to hosting people, but obviously i have a life that i need to put first, so can't do every weekend! I mainly enjoy CS as an opportunity to meet people in their own country where English isn't the first language.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been lucky enough to have surfed in the Ukraine and New York, both positive experiences

Stood looking down at the Iguazu Falls in Brazil, amazing and mesmerising.
