About Me

I'm a very warm and open person who is constantly seeking new and life enriching experiences... I try to spend as much of my time as I can outdoors, away from the technological trappings of modern life ;) Adore big hilly hikes, long distance running, wild swimming, sitting on the earth under trees.. basically anything which connects me back to nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and becoming part of their life's journey! Will gladly be accepting guests soon but just moved into a new house and everything is still a bit topsy turvy!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Films: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind . Synecdoche New York . Spirited Away . The Princess Bride . Amelie . Kumare .

Books: Don't seem to find as much time to read as I'd like, but prefer non-fiction to novels etc... Nutrition based books by the likes of Patrick Holford / T. Colin Campbell. If I choose to read I want to read something which expands my mind in one form or another :)

Music: Live music... any music which has been beautifully put together and makes me want to dance!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gosh.. how to define amazing? I recently left my very well paid job as an Architect because I'd become completely disillusioned with the commercial / money-driven nature of the industry... and have since taken up a (not particularly well paid) job at the visitor centre of a local arboretum. Everyone told me I was mad for doing it, and yeah I am struggling a little to make ends meet now... but I spend my work days looking out over 120 acres of wooded parkland and it's just bliss :) Money is a necessary evil but breaking away from the thought process that I 'needed' to be earning £40k+ to live a decent life has been so liberating!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing my growing knowledge of naturopathic nutrition and talking about the work I do with an Amazonian frog medicine called Kambo :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Varied topics of conversation.. I am also really happy to chip in with cleaning / washing up etc as required!
