I'm passionate about working outside in the woods or by the sea or the loch, growing food, engaging children and young people in the natural world, cooking tasty vegetarian food, exploring respectfully and in conversation with the local community, learning through listening, and many more things besides.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a decade of exciting adventures facilitated by couchsurfing and plenty of stories to share! Couchsurfing makes a different type of travel possible, one which is more meaningful and memorable, more unpredictable and unusual, more spontaneous and surprising.
