Nature is my passion. I love learning, new experiences, and socialising. I'm perfectly content with the simple things in life, however strive to live a 'different' lifestyle. My attitude to life is to practice what you preach; live in harmony with nature but be that link and inspiration to others on how to live a sustainable, peaceful, healthy and fun life :)

Spirituality is a key part of my personality and I take time to enjoy connecting with the universe through meditation, visualisations, yoga, or by simply being in the present and quiet. I'd love to meet more people who feel the same.

I'm musical and have been playing the cello since I was 11, I also play a little guitar and piano... I'll give any string instrument a go! I'd like to start teaching cello up to grade 5, or just casually, and would love to get into a folk or jazz group someday.

I am quite active and love long walks, yoga, biking, swimming and the occasional run. Windsurfing is my sport of choice! Badminton is also up there. I really want to learn to dance!

Although I have an adventurous side, I am a calm, peaceful person who likes to listen to and care for others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet and experience with all different people, their lives, different places around the world, and live with the wind and with the rise and setting of the sun :) . I get the most fulfilment out of connecting with others.

I have a lot to share with anyone who hosts me - life stories, travel stories, music - listening, jamming and teaching cello, yoga, local walks/activities, vegan food ideas, life talks - politics, spirituality, anything...

I'd like to host others when I can, show them around, do new stuff and language exchange

Music, Movies, and Books

I'd say my main music genres are Lo-fi, soul, folk and jazz, but also classic, reggae, some rock and i do go through some hardcore pop phases too.
Right now I'm really into steel handpans... Being introduced to new music is just the best though.

I'm trying to watch happier movies at the moment as i tend to opt for heavy or scary stuff usually! At the moment i'm into romance and comedy, but i can be swayed back to my old ways haha.
My favourite film is 'Chocolat' with Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche...
I love nature documentaries too, cue David Attenborough :D

I like fantasy books because of the magic... So 'The Edge Chronicles' by Chris Riddell, and 'His Dark Materials' by Philip Pullman for example. However I do find myself reading non-fiction about people's accounts of nature. History books are good too.
