About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to see the world; then live the rest of my life in California or Australia!

ABOUT ME

Sporty, fun, I have life experience, humorous, well mannered, smart, interesting, chilled out, silly...
In my life I plan to keep seeing more of the world, experience different cultures and put smiles on faces.
I'm Straight - CS is not a dating site.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people as you would want to be treated.
I follow The Four Agreements.
I believe everyone is beautiful when they smile.
I don't take life TOO seriously and like to have fun, enjoy myself and make others happy and laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfin on my travels and meeting wonderful human beings.
POSSIBLY could host but it's a case of convincing my housemate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met for tourism and dinner in San Antonio Texas. Surfed in New Orleans, Burlington Vermont and Montreal. CS'ed around Ireland and up the West coast of USA up into Canada.
I loved all my experiences and met some lovely people and new friends for life!
I have had a Ukraine couple, 2 Asian friends, 3 Swiss friends and a solo Spanish CS personal friend stay with me.
In 2013 I travelled to 17 countries and CS'd across a lot of them, see my references! :P
