CURRENT MISSION

Diving in Indonesia

ABOUT ME

I'm a beach lover and a water baby at heart, I've tried other ways of life but this is where I belong!

I'm pretty relaxed, easygoing and friendly - love to travel, party and meet people. I also love to scuba dive and am lucky enough to have made it my job as well as my passion. I've now dived in many different countries with bull sharks, whale sharks and manta rays to name but a few of my wonderful underwater friends!

I often feel very priviledged to have experienced everything that I have done in my life so far. The world's an extremely big place and travel is always an education.

PHILOSOPHY

A very wise old yogi in India once proclaimed to me that "there are so many dead people walking around this earth!"

What he meant was that everyone's so busy thinking about what was and what will be that they miss the now. If you miss the now then you might as well already be dead.

Now I feel that he was possibly being a bit harsh but I got his point.

Live for the now. Live in the moment. That's how I've been trying to live ever since and it works for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My boyfriend and I hosted together in Nungwi, Zanzibar and we have since been surfing within India, Nepal, Fiji, Mexico and PNG. It's such a great way to meet new people I'd recommend it to anyone who travels.

Interests

Marine ecology, how not to continue destroying our oceans.... that's what really gets me going right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked 3000m up to the lip of a live volcano and watched a river of lava flow down at night in Lombok. Didn't enjoy the hike so much I have to admit, but the lava plus the sunrise the next morning was unreal.
