About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Its always great to receive hospitality and its great to be able to offer it back. The kindness of strangers is a great thing.

ABOUT ME

We travelled a lot many years back, China,trans Siberia, India, Myanmar, Africa, South East Asia. We happily travelled again in 2007/8 around the world with our two kids this time, for a year.

We have plenty of space for camping.We have a couch (but not always available) Our house is small and we live simply.

We like the idea of offering accomodation which enables anyone to further explore the world.
So we are pleased to offer a few nights to anyone who needs it.
We like people who are independent and able to look after themselves as we work and are not always around.

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around comes around.
