CURRENT MISSION

Raising money to build a house for a Nepalese family with a disabled child, who lost their house in the earthquake in 2015.

ABOUT ME
I'm a keen traveller, I love exploring new places and meeting new people. Which is probably the most commonly used phrase on this site. I've done a fair bit of volunteering in various countries, and prefer to stick around in a place for a while to really get to know the culture and people, rather than hopping from one place to another. Although the concept of couch surfing tends to favour the hopper, so i definitely do dabble in that every now and again.
I'm a big fan of nature, camping/cycling/walking with friends in the countryside. Preferably when the walk has a lovely cosy pub at the end of it.
I've been teaching in Spain for a few years, and am currently looking in to a possible career in alternative therapies.
I've been travelling and volunteering in South America and Asia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the stars from the Atacama Desert. Biking in to the desert with a tent and 20litres of water, lying on our backs watching the stars all night. So many shooting stars. Then sunrise...
