ABOUT ME

I am interested in experiencing different perspectives of life. I love to watch people..I really love this. I think observation should be a class at school. In the past I have made big trips travelling solo by bicycle through Spain, on foot through Israel, wild camping in Portugal...

I am currently living in Bristol and working on building my ethical business and life/business coaching. I am looking to get out of the UK for the winter and explore/work in Costa Rica. I'm looking forward to meeting new people and learning more about the country, working in the week and adventuring at the weekend.

I get bored of habitual living pretty quickly.. Why do the same thing twice? I like to challenge myself, intellectually, emotionally, physically.

PHILOSOPHY

Truth is always the right direction!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I find Couchsurfing is a great way to get 'under the skin' of a place and avoid the tourist route. Rather than just passing through a place I like to gain true insight and build good connections and friendships with people. I am not using it to date though be sure of this!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only had positive experiences, whether that means I spend every waking minute with my host or barely see them, I always learn something new.

Interests

Losing hours in authentic conversation, spontaneous expeditions, reading, dancing freely, being on my own, hot yoga with other people, woodwork, sneezing, writing, hugging, singing, metalwork, ceramics, ports/harbours, cooking, watching people, long walks, fasting, cycling through warm cities in the early hours of the morning.
