About Me

I am one of the wanderers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand.
-James Kavanaugh.

I love this quote. It's so true of so many people I've met so far, not just myself. I'm one of the people who are always looking for new challenges and experiences, people to meet and learn from, places to see and no doubt mistakes to make,

I think there's a certain power that humanity has to make changes to the world or other people's lives. I'm a firm believer that you have to be the change you want to see. For that reason, I'm making it my mission to share experiences, respect and love with everyone I meet, and do what I can to help someone else everywhere I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going on an adventure. Leaving the comfort of my good job and nice place, reliable internet and unnecessary technology. The whole point is to get in touch with what really matters and so far, that's people and the little footprints you can leave on their lives by sharing stories with them, helping them tackle an iKea flat pack, or just keeping them company.

Rather than stay in hotels while I travel, I want to meet real people and share the experience with them. Couchsurfing seems to be full of likeminded people, so I can't wait to meet some of you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent the Buddha's birthday weekend in Lumbini, where he was born. Now that was a party, Nepalese style!

There are so many other things though -more stories to swap with you!

Teach, Learn, Share

What could you learn from me?
To make some rocking super healthy treats
Some yoga
English if you're looking to learn

I'd love for you to teach me...
A new language
How to take professional photos
How to start and run a successful blog
How to cook a new dish
How to play guitar

I want to share travel tales, life hacks, stories and giggles, good food and amazing experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can't sing or play guitar (see "Teach, Learn, Share")... massive travelling set backs I know...

I am a dab hand in the kitchen though and absolutely love cooking and eating, so let's cook something delicious together and share some stories about where we've been and what we've learnt so far.

I think everyone you meet has something to teach you about yourself and has the power to make you look at things from a different perspective -I'm all ears.
