About Me

I am an independent, young at heart, open minded person who enjoys travel, meeting new people, experiencing different cultures. I have 3 grown up children. I have worked in the IT industry since 1979 and am permanently employed. I have a wide circle of friends, many whom have been friends since school days. I enjoy music, music concerts, theatre, different cuisines, dancing, entertaining at home, cooking (although with having a full time job I don't get to do it as often as I would like). I prefer experiences to things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now that my children are all financially independent, my wish is to travel to somewhere new every year. I went to USA last year and was travelling on my own. I found it rather lonely to be staying in hotels on my own. I would love to stay with locals and experience life as is really is.
