I'm easy-going, social but introverted, thoughtful, silly and love being outside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've taken a few months of long-service leave from work and am travelling in Canada and then a bit of Europe. Looking to meet locals and get to know places from others' perspective.

Interests

Mountains, rainforests, swimming in rivers, being tumbled by waves in oceans....
I love teaching and working with young people
I love dancing, reading, writing, cups of coffee, ecology, poetry, chocolate.
