I expect surfers to read about My Home before requesting to stay with us.

CURRENT MISSION

Finish editing and publish some of my writing.

ABOUT ME

Ingenious problem solver with an optimistic approach and playful nature.

PHILOSOPHY

I am responsible for my life and how it affects others and the world. What I do, think, and experience now, shapes me and others into the future.

The world has a natural balance that guides things into place, but it is guided through the actions of us all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My partner and I are offering a couch. We have learnt a lot from past couchsurfers, heard some great stories and shared plenty of local knowledge. I like that.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We surfed a couple of couches in Thailand and really enjoyed the experiences. We have also hosted a number of people and enjoyed that too.

Some of our guests have cooked for us and we still use their recipes, tips and ingredients that they introduced to us.

We have also seen more of our local area when we have had time to show guests around.
