I live for the simple life, preferably outdoors! (although do prefer a warm bed to a cold tent on most nights). I rock climb, hike and have dabbled in alpine mountaineering. I love the hills. I like to cycle.
I work in forensic mental health. I'm greedy to learn...about anything really. I'm currently learning Spanish to help me out when I land in South America. I love animals, mainly cats and will be pained to leave Emma behind but hopefully will meet some new furry friends along the way.
I don't eat meat and try to eat limited amounts of dairy (cheese is a weakness!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm intrigued by people. I like to hear others stories and share mine. I like to experience a real home with local people.

Interests

I have climbed for around 5 years and struggled in the last year due to knee surgery but this is improving more and more. I climb trad on UK Gritstone but also love sport climbing in warm weather on lovely limestone.
I live to be high up, overlooking miles of landscape. I practice yoga, mainly vinyasa and ashtanga.
I'd be on my bike everyday if I didn't live in a country as rainy as England!
I am never without a book. Ever.
I'm pretty good at getting a creative meal together with little supplies!
