Heya! I'm a child of the earth. I'm super passionate about people, the environment, creativity and vegetables.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find out more about the world through the eyes of locals, to make connections with like minded people and to try as much local food and drink as I can! It's more human this way :-)

Interests

I love being outside and benefiting from life as much as possible. This includes anything sporty or where lots of people come together for any reason (gigs, protests, festivals, meet and greets, clubs). I play hockey, tennis and badminton, I climb and I've just begun pole dancing!
