CURRENT MISSION

To be a good global citizen

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm happy, easy-going and curious about our world and the people in it. This used to be a joint profile but is now its just me.

I'm a bag full of contradictions...i.e. I'm at home in cities yet in love with wild spaces; I'm super social yet happy alone; I'm open-minded but not to cheese!

Always up for conversation, laughter, sharing, adventure and challenge.

PHILOSOPHY

Breathe deeply...happiness is inside

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I do my best to appreciate and demonstrate the qualities that make couch surfers some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have CS'ed in a couple of different countries and what can I say...great people, amazing experiences and the only / best way to travel. Lucky to make great friends along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rejected how I lived my consumerist life. I dropped out of it and am working on a new way of being.

Teach - the pharmaceutical and recruitment industries, rugby

Learn - as much as I can

What I Can Share with Hosts
