ABOUT ME

I work freelance as a cycling tour guide in France, Spain, Italy and Ireland. I used to work as a coach driver all around Europe for 4 years. I do a lot of cycling, swimming and running.

I love food, home food, real food and I'm a pretty good cook.

I've traveled to the USA, Canada, Thailand, Bali, NZ, Australia, India and most European countries, as well as Ireland.

I like to be outside - cycling, swimming, running.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to cook so I like helping with cooking, breakfast crepes, omelets or whatever needs doing. I love bikes and if you have one I can fix it up for you as best I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Motorcycling through parts of India was a great experience. Cycling in the Pyrenees in Spain. Cycling the west coast of the USA was a wonderful trip. Volunteering with single parent kids in Montreal was great - to do something meaningful in the community I lived in.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've traveled a lot solo and a lot by bicycle and motorcycle so that's my experience. I've been called 'the bike whisperer' as I like to fix up bikes as a hobby and get others rolling and share the joy of pedaling a nicely cared for bike. I'm pretty handy at cooking and crepes are my speciality but I love cooking anything, or eating out and experimenting with food. I'll add spice and butter to most things.
