Hello, I'm David and new to airbnb. I'm middle aged and married but often travel alone on short breaks. I like walking, cycling and city breaks. I welcome peace and quiet. I enjoy traditional pursuits like country dancing and wine-making.

Quite often I'll stay in youth hostels to meet new people but I'd like to see what airbnb can offer and I'm now trying out hosting too. I'm having a career break so have more time to travel and host. I look forward to meeting you.
