About Me

I am an outgoing person who loves the outdoors, adventures and people. I love really wild remote places and have spent to last 3 years living off grid on a remote Scottish island, wheel barrowing everything in and out 1 1/2 miles over peat bog.

I love making music with people, sharing meals, a simple life and generally living life with others in mind.

I consider myself an environmentalist, feminist and general caring about equalityist. Most of my working life has been spent working with marginalized people.

I also love living in community as this tends to involve all the stuff I love.

Myself and my Boyfriend James travel/couch surf together and are more than happy to help out in the places we stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love meeting people and think there is so much to learn from everyone. The Idea of sharing your home with strangers is a way to share trust and positivity. So CS is something I enjoy and want to be a part of.
