About Me

CURRENT MISSION

taking a year off from work and exploring the riches and joys this planet and its inhabitants have to offer :)

ABOUT ME

Bit of an adventurer, bit of a dreamer, definite idealist but essentially a pragmatist. Tried my hand at a number of things and found I was best at moving on! Think I have itchy feet. I'm very curious and was the child who always said "but why?". There are still a lot of questions out there, and a few billion people I've not asked yet.

PHILOSOPHY

Be brave! Like to explore and love a good adventure. Generosity is infectious. Jump into the abyss and you will be caught!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Happy to give and take. Love the openness and randomness of the CS connections and very glad to be able to lend my efforts to the pool! The world is a big place and a good way of grabbing small parts of it is frequent CS contact! I'm sort of assimilating it all.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing. Meeting friendly, interesting, adventurous, creative souls, whether travelling or hosting has been great.
