About Me

I love meeting people from all walks of life and age and really enjoy being a part of local communities. I sing and play guitar and I am a photographer. I love the great outdoors and particularly enjoy surfing and extreme sports. I am travelling to follow my own dreams and passions (see my website www.makingwavesglobal.com) and am starting in California for the next couple of months!I am easy going, friendly, relaxed, sociable, adventurous, active, fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people and would love to spend time with as many locals along my trip to Mexico and Central America. I am looking to meet others who are doing what they love in their life too.

Interests

I love surfing, and anything involving water sports -I most recently went to a couple of free diving classes which were really fun (and possibly my next sporting addictions) . Singing and play guitar really nourish me and I love hangingin out with my friends and family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have sold all of my belongings to fund this trip and part of what I am doing is getting 1 million more women into surfing around the globe by 2020! I am doing this through the movement I have founded called Making Waves. Part of my trip I am going to be sharing women's stories and celebrating their achievements through interviewing them and taking a series of photographic portraits.
