(easier for me to be reached there)

I'm outgoing, friendly and generally never say no to an adventure. I love to read, and I have brief bouts of creative writing which inevitably subside into half-start novels. I'm a foodie, and I love getting to know local food. I try to do yoga everyday and run if possible, but I almost always fail to do both. I'm not religious, I voted to stay in the EU, and I consider myself a good person for both those reasons.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that traveling is about meeting people. Yes there are tourist attractions, and cultural heritage sites, and instagram photos - but the heart of traveling is about meeting people who are different from you.

After I couchsurfed my way around Mauritius, I met amazing locals, ex-pats and travelers who made my time memorable. I can't think of a better way to travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed an active volcano whilst it was erupting.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I'm happy to give a Philosophy 101 course on request
Learn: Big fan of learning useless crafts that I will probably be awful at
Share: Let's trade languages, maybe over a pot of tea/glass of wine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll cook but probably poorly. I have amassed an odd collection of recipes over my times living and working around the world. Thai chicken pancakes anyone?
