About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Skate all the hills !

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

traveled the garden route of south Africa with my brother, sister and their partners, the funniest time of my life so far.

expectantly spending two weeks in las Vegas learning conversational hypnosis, interesting to say the least.
