ABOUT ME

My belief is that life is for living, enjoying and discovering the new in this amazing planet in which we live...learning, meeting new people and having fun. I'm easy going and love having a good chat and making friends with interesting people from all backgrounds and corners of the world. I have been living in Mexico since august 2011 and on a fantastic new chapter, growing spiritally, intellectually and discovering the depth of wonders of Mexico.I love all things music, art, film, food, exercising, meditation and discovering local cultures and vibes.

PHILOSOPHY

try to love to the saying 'que sera sera'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I pride myself on being a great guest - clean, courteous and will come armed with a sense of humour, a load of music from all round the world and over 150 films...all to share of course. I love food and cooking and love nothing more than chatting and cooking in the kitchen together before sitting down for a feast. Art galleries, independent films, and soaking up the local vibe whatever it may be is all right up my street. I am a therapist in an amazing water based therapy called Janzu and love sharing this amazing gift.

when it comes to hosting, you'll get the inside tale on London and be pointed in the directions of the real london plus other parts of the UK - having travelled my own country extensively and also lived in Manchester when I was younger. Access to a load of lovely friends who will happily show you around as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
