I quit life a few of years ago and went travelling for about 18 months. Unfortunately , all good things come to an end… I went back to working in the NHS for 3 years, but for the last couple of years I’ve been travelling again, working on a cruise ship! I'm adventurous, spontaneous, super chilled, extroverted, introverted, happy, loving, mad, respectful, loyal (to the death), chatty, reflective, kind, caring, entertaining, sarcastic,

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a much more intimate way to travel and immerse into local culture

Interests

I love dancing. I learnt a little of everything over the years, but am by no means very skilled. Some music just gets into my bones and I can't help having a little groove to myself. I don't tend to hang around in big groups, but prefer a get together with close friends.
I read a lot. I love fantasy novels so I can get lost in my own little world, but I read all sorts. I dabble in knitting and sewing, but once again, not great. You could say Jack of all trades, master of none - I used to play violin when I was a kid and tried bass, but didn't have the dedication.
My favourite things to do are hanging with friends, chatting or sitting watching the world go by... catching little bits of conversation, seeing things that no one else notices, just appreciating the moment, or catching some live music and having a boogie!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - really eclectic but a lot of ska/punk/reggae/rock

Movies - Guy Ritchie, Tarantino, Cohen Brothers. The Princess Bride, Labyrinth... that'll do for a start

Books - anything. Sci-fi, fantasy, dystopia, crime thrillers. No chick lit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was a teenager, I was in a motorcycle display team (jumping through fire, forming pyramids and other such tricks). I travelled a little with them, including Canada x2, Norway, US, Germany, as well as whole of UK performing in shows.

Hitchhiked around New Zealand for 6 months. Mainly locals who picked me up; Stayed with a family for 10 days, lived with a bunch of hippies in the bush for a week!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm excellent at helping improve English language skills. I want to learn new skills. I'll try anything! I can also teach you to knit.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My smile and love? I'm shy, but once I'm comfortable, I'll chat away about most things. I'm very friendly and fond of giving hugs! I like deep discussions about random things and like to share life experiences with people. I can teach you to knit!
