CURRENT MISSION

To fill my passport with stamps before it expires. Become fluent in Spanish.

ABOUT ME

I'm a really good listener, talker and I'm always very honest! I wear my heart on my sleeve. I like a laugh and have a good sense of humour. Although I am a sucker for puns and am extremely gullible! I don't take myself seriously and love banter.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the now. I believe everyone has the right to be happy but we as individuals are responsible for that. Learn from the past but do not dwell on it.
I am always learning new ways of viewing the world and the beings within and love to hear others philosophies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have met a few hosts and surfers on my travels so I decided to join! I am hoping to surf on my next trip and once I get my own place will more than happily host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Yet to have one!

Interests

I love the outdoors and anything exercise based. Some of these are climbing, hiking, cycling, yoga, pilates, swimming . . . I mainly love to run.
Exploring, travelling, experiencing and trying new things makes me tick.
Food is good and I am a big fan of cooking it and eating it and learning about it. I am a meat eater but eat very healthily.
I love music, going to gigs and festivals. I like listening to new bands, big fan of 6music, and have a weak spot for the 80's and 60's. But am generally easily pleased.
Some other passions of mine are meditation, sewing, art, photography, learning new things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a swim teacher in case any one wants some tips. Happy to help people with English, I am going to be learning how to teach English as a foreign language so I would love some practice! I would also love to learn Spanish by September so if anyone could help I would love that!
Happy to share most things! Walks, climbs, runs, coffee, food, words.
