Overview
About Me
Described as...
'a packet of joy and is at her happiest when she is caring for others, humans or animals. She thrives in a fun environment with plenty of sunlight. She is not work orientated but instead happiness orientated. Her favourite food is jaffacakes. What else? That's pretty much you in a nutshell.'
Last year was an amazing year of travel for me, I managed to travel with my partner from Stroud in Gloucestershire to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, overland, no flying at all, through Europe, up to Scandinavia, across Russia, Japan, China, Vietnam, Cambodia... And it was awesome :) but also made us think... Why don't we know our own country, the UK better?!
So, the next trip starts soon! My partner Jack and I are touring the UK by electric bicycle, 100 circuits of 100 miles each! We met so many great, inspiring and beautiful people through couch surfing and other ways last year all over the world and can't wait to make new friends in our own country.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
At the beginning of April last year my partner Jack and I quit our jobs and I set off on a quest to try and get from England to Indonesia overland. We have met some amazing people along the way and definitely have a few stories to tell!
The main reason we are travelling is to talk and learn from people and couchsurfing is such a great way of getting in touch.
Interests
Cycling around on my bright green road bike through the valleys, painting, drawing with pen and ink, Playing my electric piano when I want to relax, tap dancing and I really want to try my hand at other types of dance. I can't wait to start learning about sustainability growing my own food and produce, hopefully that project can start soon.
But for now, I am loving my new electric bike and can't wait to start touring around the country :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Lots of amazing things have happened to me, big and small. Other achievements have been a lot more meaningful to me but I really loved thing canoeing through the Amazon jungle and camping on a snow capped mountain in Norway (enjoyed that one more when it was over mind!)
