CURRENT MISSION

Less of a mission more of a meandering ramble, with lots of unexpected and beautiful diversions along the way.

ABOUT ME

Hello.
My name is Grace.

Firstly I ought to warn you that I like impromptu cups of tea and I would like to cook for you if you let me stay on your couch.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't dwell in the past or future, but in the moment because often it's gone before we've really experienced it. Take time to look around you. Treasure everything because it's all finite. (I have to own up that I've not quite mastered this yet, but at least I know what I'm working towards.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not sure yet but excited to find out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I cant say yet, this would be my very first time!

Interests

Listening to and watching live music, sailing, climbing, traipse, exploring, people, smelling new smells, touching things with a history. Being privileged enough to be able to take the time to look. Being awed by it all. Writing, photography, trying with joyful futility to capture an iota of any of it so I can share the kind of feelings you get from waking up to the sun and sea on a beach that you arrived at whilst it was dark.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cant choose, sorry, maybe you could only read one...Walking up Giotto's Bell tower in Florance barefoot. Training Ugandan soldiers about domestic violence, climbing volcano's up into the clouds in Uganda, scuba diving on the great barrier reef, taking a group of disadvantaged kids from London sailing for a week. Having a shower in a monsoon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you stories.
I would like to hear your's. I'd like to learn Spanish.
I can help you with whatever you need help with while I'm with you, but I cant promise to do it with any level of skill.
I can share with you anything in my back pack and in my head. when I have a couch you can share that.
I am quite good at friendly drunken debates. I also like to listen. I can teach you how to dance terribly. I can teach you how to play 'Slam' my favorate card game. Um, I'm clutching at straws a little bit, can you teach me things I can teach other people?..English! I can teach you English if you like. I'd like to share some adventures.
