CURRENT MISSION

Make changes, explore new possibilities

ABOUT ME

Have now lived longer outside my home country than in it. Love to travel. Constantly learning and open to new situations. Open minded, enthusiastic about whatever I'm doing.

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Learn not to treat others unkindly just because you feel they have done so to you. Although we die alone we must live with others and we are in complete control of how positive our experience will be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Filling in this profile is as far as I've got at the moment. Offering a bed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't yet been a guest or a host. Just getting started. I have of course stayed on others' couches but not arranged through "couchsurfing.com". One group of friends commented that I was "like a mouse" as I came and went throughout the week I stayed with them. I always feel it's a great privilege to be invited to sleep on someone's couch. I have always tended to live in the suburbs of large cities and have very fond memories of being invited to crash on people's couches after I had missed the last bus home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode a horse round the pyramids in moonlight, had only a thin sheet of canvas between me and a pride of wild lions, dove with turtles, sharks and sea horses in the Red Sea.

Teach, Learn, Share

People who may know it all but believe they don't. People who want to learn although they may not be very good at it. People who are prepared to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and try again. People who are happy in themselves and grateful for the life they have been given.
