ABOUT ME

May 2015....another spring another update!

I have been riding the big sofa wave for a few years. I've been blessed to meet great people this way, hosts and surfers.

I am from England but I moved between different countries for a long time now, especially Guatemala, Central America. I love being surrounded by new and different cultural traditions, new kinds of food and meeting different people.

I am friendly . I like gardening, skateboarding and meeting people. I get daft about any kinds of vegetables and love cooking deep fried delights, often in industrial quantities.

I love to host travellers, but unfortunately I live in the middle of nowehere and have very limited living space

Mis pasiones: skateboarding el viaje y la vida.
Estoy muy agradecido a toda la gente que he encontrado

How do!
...Today Madrid!Yesterday Lancaster!Tomorrow...???

I created a profile in July 2007 when I rolled up in Manchester, England: the city of raving, The Happy Mondays and chips n curry. Not long after I was in Huddersfiled, Yorkshire... Pies, Peas and Gravy? I then heaved on to Lancaster: the spiritual home of erdy gerdy music...

From there I randomly appeared in Madrid The city of horas extras (overtime), tortilla española sandwiches and a fantastic following for Critical Mass...

PHILOSOPHY
Enjoy yourself before it's too late!

La vida es un viaje de halon...hay que gozar cada minuto del camino, la gente y los paisajes.
