ABOUT ME

I suppose I think 'out of the box' but I expect so does everyone who'd be a member of a site like this!

I'm a mum to 5 children, and have granchildren too, but I often have the house to myself as the children who still live at home, board in school.

I'm a recent immigrant to London and love the city and I learn so much more about it from the people who visit here.

PHILOSOPHY

All the cliché's, life isn't a rehearsal, you're a long time dead etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host a little, surf a little less, I love the principle :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Apart from crashing at friends when it got late, my only previous experience was staying with a couple who had spare rooms when I couldn't get into my accommodation on my first day of arrival. It was all arranged through email, they were a great couple we shared Chinese food and I found out about his Beer Mat collection. Thanks Geoff and Sue.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like going to the cinema and have fairly eclectic taste in movies, translates to - watch any old dross except horror.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with dolphins was a spiritual experience that I wasn't expecting it to be.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm constantly learning and open to new ideas. Happy to impart any of my particular skills.
I'm pretty good at cooking, especially preserves. I do a mean corn removal, and I'm a bit of a geek and can usually sort out a PC.
