About Me

Itchy-footed free spirit taking a tentative dip into the couch-surfing community...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like everyone on here I love to travel and am always planning the next adventure. I never tire of seeing amazing new places and meeting amazing new people.

My favourite way to see a new place is to explore it on foot; ideally with someone who knows all the great little secret places that are not in the guide books.

Interests

Outside of my busy job I love to travel (obviously!) and socialise with new and old friends. This can be seeing live music or dancing - two of my favourite things to do - or just taking a walk, shopping, or meeting friends for coffee and people watching.

I love to dive when I get the chance and go to the odd yoga class when I have time. I will try anything at least twice and suffer terribly from FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) so will generally be the first to RSVP to an event and the last to leave!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music from Northern Soul, house music, Indie, rock, blues and everything in-between. Generally if there is a beat, I will dance to it.

For books and movies I like a good scare so any kind of supernatural horror or suspense is usually on my list. A bit of a geek at heart I also like fantasy epics like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with wild turtles in Bali. That was pretty amazing

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a terrible cook so if you can teach me how that would be awesome! In return I will do the dishes :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A friend for life :)

My dry and slightly sarcastic sense of northern British humour and my very northern accent, which people tend to find very entertaining.
