ABOUT ME

I'm an independent kind of person, although that doesn't stop me from being friendly and warm with people too. Some of my friends would say I'm intelligent and funny (?), gentle and kind. Honest to a fault. Sorry, but I don't know what the "government ID" verification is meant to be, and I never received the postcode they supposedy sent to verify my address, so that process is incomplete! But I promise you I'm kosher....peaceloving, quiet, gentle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel, but this often has to be on a budget otherwise it wouldn't happen at all.

Interests

I enjoy what I consider to be good music - that could be classical, Pink Floyd or world - it just has to be done well! Also enjoy cinema (do local voluntary stewarding for a cinema nearby) and theatre, and a good book. Rowing and walking are the things I like to do outdoors - in fair weather!
