Overview
About Me
Interested in learning at least a little about most things, and travelling is something I never do enough of! Raised in the U.K. but living in Chile for the past 20 years
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've already travelled a lot and would like to give my experiences a new twist. Also, I'm unemployed right now, so it's really the only way I can travel
Interests
Many and varied. Easier to discover in person, I think!
- culture
- architecture
- dancing
- music
- sports
- languages
- travelling
- reading books
Music, Movies, and Books
Music is sooo important to me - my family are all musicians, I'm a flute-less flutist, and Spotify is my constant companion!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hrm walk on the Chinese wall, participate in a Japanese tea ceremony in Kyoto, see the London New Year's display with my brother and his now-wife, ski in both the coldest conditions (Vermont frostbite) and warmest (Valle Nevado in Chile - had to take off my coat!), drunk yak tea in Lhasa (it was disgusting, but worth the experience!), gazed out at the breathtaking Tibetan landscape from the top of the Potala Palace... lately, give a beautiful reading at my brother's wedding. I could go on forever. A bit more than one (oops!) and perhaps not "amazing" for others, but I find that kind of moment truly spectacular, where I'm just overwhelmingly thankful to be able to have that experience.
