About Me

CURRENT MISSION

More cycle touring - first complete EuroVelo 6, then...

ABOUT ME

Just turned 60 years old. Need to work a few more years to get two daughters set up - both have left home with younger one at Uni and elder about to take up a post in Mexico. And need to save for retirement.

PHILOSOPHY

Tread lightly on the earth. Be kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Absolute beginner

Interests

I love cycle touring - not something I can persuade my wife to do. And I play guitar a bit. I wish I could cook better.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to be an English language teacher (TEFL) and would like to teach classical guitar - happy to share languages and music knowledge and anything about 20th century French philosophers, the future of technology and genetics etc.
