"A smile makes the world a wonderful place!"

I am from Sussex (England). I now live in Wales in a peaceful location with 16 sheep and my dog. Incredible views, there is a flat camping spot on the top field. There is a camper van as a spare room if needed.

I try and make the most of every day just in case the world doesn't wake up in the morning!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted a few couchsurfers now - they have all been fun, interesting people who I have really enjoyed meeting! CSing was very useful when we were travelling - we met some really great people (and dogs)!

Interests

My great passions are walking my dog in new places, learning and teaching self defence, long walks in the peaceful countryside, kickboxing, scuba diving, running and reading... I'll try anything once.

Music, Movies, and Books

Forrest Gump and Grease!
I will read anything I can and if I like it I can't put it down! My favourite book ever has to be 'Goodnight Mister Tom'.
As for music, I have a very random CD selection and will listen to pretty much anything - it depends what mood I'm in!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Attended the World Scout Jamboree (2011) in Sweden as a Leader... fantastic!

Scuba dived with sharks in Fiji.

Cycling nearly 1,000 miles from one end of the UK to the other!

Tongariro Crossing, New Zealand - this was hard work but amazing, amazing, amazing!

Climbing Waynu Picchu (the tall mountain behind Macchu Picchu)... awesome, out of this world.
