I am an easy-going, caring and mindful person who enjoys the simple things in life.

I am fortunate and have worked hard enough to make my passion for dancing my career. I love all forms of art but particularly music and dance and specifically Ballroom and Latin American dancing.

I run my own company which includes performance, choreography, competitive dancing, adjudication, teaching and event organising.

When I am not working, I like to get out doors and enjoy nature. I also like to socialise with good friends and meet new interesting people.

I am not religious but spiritual and believe in treating all beings as I would have them treat me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the age of 40 I came to a point in my life where I needed to press the reset button, so I downsized massively and went travelling and seeking.

As I had very little funds to go travelling I looked into alternative ways of travelling and stumbled upon CS. I also don't really like following the crowds or staying in sterile lonely hotel rooms.

Since my time on Couchsurfing I have received nothing but kindness and generosity from "strangers" who not only provide accommodation but also wonderful insights into the local area and culture. It has gone a long way in restoring my faith in humanity.

So when I have the opportunity and then means to do so...I will return the favour to fellow travellers and seekers who come to my home town.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Achieved 24th place in World Professional Latin American dance rankings and in the process met one of the men who inspired me to start dancing Mr Patrick Swayze.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can TEACH anyone how to partner dance.

But amongst many things I want to LEARN how to play the guitar and speak other languages so that I can connect and SHARE the wonder that is life with more people from varied backgrounds.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach Ballroom & Latin American dancing as well as my life experiences as a top athletic artist and performer overcoming many personal challenges along the way. I can share my passion for life, happiness and growth. I am happy to cook and share recipes although I am now Vegan.
