About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To inspire passion for nature conservation

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly, generous, and laid-back person that loves to travel to see the world's wilderness and wildlife.

I'm sociable and love to meet new people, to learn and experience through their stories.

PHILOSOPHY

We didn't come into this world, we came out of it, like a wave from the ocean.

We should treat our natural world, and everything that lives on it, with love and respect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly I want to host and meet travellers; while I was in Latin America I met so many strangers that shared a part of their lives with me and and made me feel at home, now I want to do the same for others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's a great chance to meet different people from across the world and make great friendships.

Interests

I love wildlife watching - trekking, camping, and all things muddy! Wales has some beautiful, wild places to explore and it'd be great to show you them.

Even though it's my day job, I'm passionate about writing and I'm striving to become a better photographer.

I really enjoy going to see live bands, with Cardiff and nearby Bristol having great music scenes.

I'm big into supporting local producers, cooking, and I'm becoming a huge fan of real ales and micro-breweries.

Like all writers, I'm a big reader and could spend days behind a book. I also love going to the theater and cinema, but I can be pretty fussy about what to watch - if I don't enjoy it, I really regret the time wasted.

Finally, along with every Welshmen of this country, I love my rugby!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: indie, rock, classical, reggae, ska, dub, blues, jazz, salsa ...it's a great big mix.

Films: I like nearly everything by Almodóvar and the Coen Brothers.

Books: There are just too many to choose from but my top three authors today are: Doris Lessing, Philip Roth and Roald Dahl.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled across Latin America for 14 months volunteering with conservationists: I saw some of the most incredible natural wonders and wildlife on this planet, while meeting the inspiring people that are working to protect them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will teach you to make a traditional Welsh breakfast.
I'm struggling to learn Spanish and would love to practice.
I will share with you anything I have, just ask!
