CURRENT MISSION

To stay positive!

ABOUT ME

I am the oldest of four and an innovator. I like to think that under the circumstances a pretty funny person too. I like to laugh whether it's at myself or at your expense. I like cider, scotch and wine though not in that combination and certainly not all in the same night. I enjoy listening to live music, reading into the wee hours of the morning and riding my bike everywhere!

PHILOSOPHY

Everywhere is within walking distance if you've got the time.

Their no such thing a bad weather, only the wrong clothing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am often the self appointed boss. It's just easier. Though it should be said that with me being in charge, fun is never not had.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only every hosted a few couch surfers when I lived at my last house. I am trying to get my roommates into the idea of doing it at our new place.

Interests

I generally spend my time reading. I love to read. I also like watching good movies; not normally the thought provoking kind, the sort that is just for numbing your mind. I am an avid baker, pies being my specialty and I can generally be found trying to feed full people.
