Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Just started
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Had my first hosting experience on 17th November 2012, and loved it. I hosted 2 American CSfers in my one-bedroomed cottage, and before they arrived I was very apprehensive, as they were my son's age and I wasn't sure how I would relate to them. i needn't have worried, we got on famously, and had a great time.
Interests
I have a passion for reading and research, I love visiting quaint old places (especially in Italy) and I have travelled quite extensively, including walking a part of the camino, and spending a year travelling around Europe in a combi, avoiding main roads and big cities.
- walking
- reading

Music, Movies, and Books
Out of Africa, Blood Diamond, Meet Joe Black, to name a few. Biographies, history and armchair travel books.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Walking over the Pyrenees from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France to Roncesvalles in Spain,and finding myself in the middle of a bunch of cows that were sitting down and were nearly as tall as me.
Teach, Learn, Share
I do my best to see all sides of a story. Although I believe it is important to be passionate about life, its also good to step back and observe, to listen, to be objective and look beyond emotion to find the truth.
