CURRENT MISSION

To laugh and be brave

ABOUT ME

I am 47yrs old.I spent my 20's backpacking and travelling and have been desperate to return to that philosophy even though opportunities are now more limited. I relied upon the kindness of strangers then and hope to reciprocate now. I always need at least a portion of the day to myself but now would love some company in the evenings for socialising and seeing a different side to a new place, and for help in living the local lifestyle. I do love to dance and like live music.

PHILOSOPHY

Making connections is what life is about. Being non judgemental is a skill we all need to learn

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving through the scottish highlands when I was 30 and realising that prehistory, magnificence and awe inspiring beauty had been on my doorstep my whole life and I had never bothered to look.
The Forth Rail Bridge makes me catch my breath to this day.
I have also stood next to Michael Franti -awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

If it isn't anywhere else, it's in the obvious place.
Everyone has their reasons.
I can teach the rudiments of juggling and give you strategies to help friends with low self confidence.
I'd like someone to be able to enthuse me with cooking skills. I currently have no interest and I think it hampers me somewhat, or the chance to practise my spanish which is rapidly turning woeful.
