I recently quit my job in learning support at a high school to have a bit of an (extended :) adventure. I've wanted to experience the Pacific Northwest (especially the temperate rainforest) for a while, and now, here I am! I really appreciate that I am privileged to be able to make that decision & take that leap... again!

Most things in this world interest me & I am energised when learning/experiencing new things. This fuels my desire to travel/explore. l feel passionately about social justice & try to live a life that shows my appreciation for the amazing world that we live in by making thoughtful decisions & creating meaningful connections.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just realised that I've been a member since 2010 & I'm yet to surf or host, oh dear. I think it's about time I changed that! It seems like a great way to meet locals, which I think is the only way you get to really understand a place.

One of my goals is to create a safe, cosy, beautiful home for friends (& travellers!) to visit when they need some reflection/chill time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE maps. I like History books. I can't get into novels, sadly.

I only watch things that I can learn from or that make me laugh.

Music has the power to change my mood. I usually dance by myself in my bedroom several times a week. It makes me so happy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Loved unconditionally. Corny, I know.
