I had a very enjoyable 3 day stay recently in Dan's home.
Dan is a very friendly, welcoming guy who makes you feel at home immediately .His home is very quiet and peaceful and is within easy reach of the city centre on foot .You have the run of the house ,free to come and go as you please .Dan is always willing to help and answer your queries but does not disturb you ,or invade your space.
It is clearly evident that Dan is genuinely interested in people. A world traveller himself ,he enjoys meeting fellow travellers and learning about other cultures
He lives a very healthy ,active lifestyle involved in cycling ,hiking ,kayaking, tennis pursuits .A vegetarian, he grows some of his own vegetables in a green house so if you are lucky you may be offered some fresh produce in season, if available.
His home has an impressive library of eclectic books and music ,also many artifacts and art brought back from his travels.
A journalist by profession, he has many varied interests so you can be assured of interesting topics of conversation.
I would highly recommend staying at his home.
