CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am in between things at the moment, doing some work from home and planning my next move. My academic background is in American History (BA) and Medical Anthropology (MA) and my past work has been orientated around supporting people in a variety of ways.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Me and my partner Michael have hosted a number of people over the years and have couched with two great people in France and Spain. We have also made local friends through couchsurfing. My profile says I have only a 50% response rate and I just discovered some old messages from two years ago which I have no recollection of seeing. I always try and get back to people ASAP, so please do send me a message. We bought a house last year which we plan eventually to fill with children & animals but for now there’s lots of space which we would like to share!
