Hi, I'm Alana! I'm currently exploring this beautiful country I've been lucky enough to call home all of my life. After travelling overseas, I came to recognise just how incredible our own backyard is! I love being outside, writing, reading, learning, playing music and discovering more about myself and the world around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Everyone I meet is a teacher, and I love to learn! I'd love to have the opportunity to get to know others on their own journeys through life. I also very much appreciate solitude and having my own space, so if a host prefers not to have much contact and rather just provide a surface for me to sleep for a night, I would be equally happy and appreciative. It's so incredibly helpful to be given a roof for the night, and I show my gratitude by paying forward that kindness when I have a place of my own to share.

Interests

I love to write - I'm currently writing a novel, as well as loving writing music and journalling. I play a few instruments, adore being out in nature and interacting with animals, exploring, hiking, yoga, etc. Self-development and discovery, as well as alternative healing methods, are the driving forces in my life at present.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surrendering the need to control everything and giving up a PhD, job, home and ready-made life to buy a one way ticket to the UK :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

An infectious love of life and a whole lot of joy. I can share music, discussions, experiences and knowledge. I have built up a good deal of knowledge regarding alternative healing methods and surrounding general holistic health. I'm also happy to give reiki sessions in exchange for your hospitality :)
