About Me

I am a nomad of 24 years of age. I was born and brought up in England but have been on the travel road continuously for the past 4 years now, so home is the road. I am on a journey of seeking out the unique, unusual existences in the world. I like to place myself around warm, grounded, inspiring, kind people that make you feel higher. I like to keep myself grounded and in a peaceful state of mind, by meditating and working out as regularly as I can. I don't just like to visit countries or continents, I like to live in them and seek out the true cultures, understandings of the people and local communities. I enjoy writing; so I started a blog. I like to read books with topics that will educate me and make me a better person, I then like to share these books. I love to take pictures and am trying to improve my skills for my travel blog. I enjoy eating more than you will ever know; it's one of the most exciting parts of travel for me, is indulging in the local cuisine, and learning about the use of local crops, farming and the means of cooking.
I love to connect with people and have endless conversations about real life subjects. I love to laugh, and smile at people; one of the most beautiful elements of life is the infectious, contagious laugh and smile from within.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been so blessed to have continued on this nomadic path for just over 4 years now. I have lived and worked in America, Canada, Australia and Asia and continue on this journey to seek inspiring, grounded, like-minded people. I have always wanted to pursue my coach surfing career and am now based in Asia and ready to share stories, laughs and cultures. I want to give back to this incredible continent and its people. I have found over the years of travel that just visiting a country is not enough to understand the ways that it works and the culture of the people. To stay with the locals and share experiences between one another about travel, interest and the world is the most incredible gift one will ever have.
