About Me

I'm a happy go lucky English rose with a spark of adventure a touch of courage and a real big heart. I work as a nurse from time to time and have just qualified as a massage therapist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I didn't leave England until I was 16 so I've got many years of travelling to catch up on. I joined couchsurfing many years ago with the intention of travelling more but it wasn't until i woke up at the start of 2016 and realised he world is huge and there is so much for my tiny little brain to see and learn that I made an active resolution to get out and see the world. I'm so excited to see what its got in store next and meet incredible inspirational people along the way.

Interests

I'm wild at heart playful and lovable. My hammock its like a 5th limb to me and comes on all my adventures. I've earned the nickname 'farm girl' among some of my friends for my love of the outdoors despite the fact I have only ever lived in cities. I'm originally a Londoner

Music, Movies, and Books

Samwise Gamgee is my hero.
My favourite films and books usually involve odd characters and strong friendships to aspire to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I impulsively bought a narrow boat a few years ago which I guess is now my home.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to run a mini circus at university so I can teach small children (and slightly larger non children) to juggle. I love sharing what makes people passionate in life learning the way peoples minds think and what makes them happy, everyone super different and (ok this might sound like i'm a hippy) but if people learn to understand and respect these things then the world would be a whole lot more peaceful.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I did a sewing course so if you've any odd projects lying about that need finishing perhaps I can help?
I'm also a qualified intuitive massage therapist (strictly NOT sexual)
