About Me

ABOUT ME
I've got a passion for skateboarding down hills fast, climbing up any rock face I can and baking ( ...and eating) lots of cake!
PHILOSOPHY
Feel the fear, and do it anyway!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
by telling others that want to travel CS is the way!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
When I lived with my brother in Bournemouth we hosted as many surfer as we had room for! I often found interesting people sleeping on our couch!
I’ve seen the amazing community of couch surfing and now having finished school I’ve realized it's about time I joined in!
Interests
I like my extreme sports such as Longboarding, windsurfing and rock climbing.
I am currently researching Agroforesty as part of my degree (a sustainable method of food production - mixing trees with livestock and other crops in clever ways). I intend to one day grow my own walnut trees and crops.
Sustainable living, agriculture, building and construction, permaculture design, forestry and rural skills.
I feel homemaking is just an important skill as any other so home crafts, cooking, knitting, basket weaving.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like most movies and music.
As for books, I don't read fiction - I am yet to find one that keeps me interested, maybe you'll be able to recommend one !
I non-fiction, from psychology to nutrition, anything packed full of information and new knowledge about the world!
Some of my all time favorites:
John Taylor Gatto's 'Dumbing us down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling'
'Nonviolent Communication: a Language of Life' by Marshall B. Rosenberg
'Radical Honesty' by Brad Blanton PhD\
'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle
