Fun-loving and nature passionate. I grew up in the lush inland and coastal North East of Scotland and on the Isle of Skye. I've been here all my life and I especially love the waters and the forests here.
As likely up a tree as dancing on top of the bar I'm tending at a festival. Love teamwork. Dreaming of sail travel and circus life, currently living a local life in Scotland, visiting family when I can, and hanging out daily with 3 - 5 year olds in my outdoor nursery work. Dancing wildly into the night whenever reasonably possible. Love a cheeseboard and games night or a bonfire and fire spin on the coast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosted many CSers whilst living with friends in a permaculture oriented house and really enjoyed the variety of travelers, musicians and adventure seekers we would meet and share fine times with.

I have joined now because I'm starting to travel again, heading for the States then Canada July '24 and I'd love to meet locals and have some magical experiences and see and hear New York.

Back from Canada, had a ball.
