Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To enjoy an ethical existence and promote sustainable living
ABOUT ME
I started travelling in 2009, I have spent time in Central and South America and travels to a few other places. I am now studying for a Masters in Sustainable Food Systems and am based at my off-grid Spanish farm.
PHILOSOPHY
Live kindly and compassionately
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think this is an amazing idea to meet new people and understand other cultures. I plan on using it more in the near future and look forward to being able to host.
Interests
I love to travel and try to do it as ethically as possible. I have recently got into fell running, as I love to explore mountains and this is a beautiful way to do so. My two favourite things are reading with a coffee in hand and wild swimming.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Rio de Janeiro was really an inspirational city that everyone should visit if they ever get the chance. Swimming with Whale Sharks, seeing a leatherback turtle lay eggs, dancing salsa in Cuba.
Teach, Learn, Share
I could teach a little about sustainable living, learn some language skills and share a pot of tea. I love getting into deep discussions about the World
