CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Currently travelling around South America with my partner.

I want to leave footprints all over the world but more importantly I want to learn the best way to help others.

I love people and I have a really stupid loud laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

'If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?' T.S. Eliot

'It will be alright in the end, and if it isn't, it isn't the end yet'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been on couchsurfing for a long time but have been using it on and off! I have met some incredible people at cs meet-ups and want to get more involved surfing and hosting generally. It's a great way to bring the world closer together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed a little in south Japan and had a really incredible experience. Met up with several couchsurfers in Nepal whilst I was living there and made some really long lasting connections.

Interests

I really like keeping fit by hiking and running.

I did English literature at Uni so I love to read but don't read as much as I should.

I've recently become a bit of a language fairy. I like to learn new phrases and get stuck in with local dialects.

I'm always interested in discussing charity projects and volunteering experiences. Some people have wonderful ideas!

• literature
• running
• knitting
• piano
• hiking
• camping
• surfing
• scuba diving
• boxing
• dialects
• volunteering

Music, Movies, and Books

My two favourite movies at the moment are 'Pan's Labyrinth' and 'Into the Wild'

I will listen to all kinds of music but currently I'm tapping my foot to ALT-J, Two Door Cinema Club, Bat for lashes....

I love Jeanette Winterson, Virginia Woolf, T.S. Elliott. 'Catch-22' and 'To kill a mockingbird' changed my life. Jane Eyre is my angsty teenage phase hero. Murakami 'Hard boiled wonderland' blew my mind.
