I am a tour guide, I have spent years working in many different areas of this. I worked as a horse trek guide in New Zealand, on sailing boats in Croatia, as a tour guide in the UK and I'm working in the Arctic Circle in Finland at the moment. I recently graduated in Graphic Design and although I love it I decided I needed to see more of the world as a guide.

I am interested in trying to make the UK stay in the EU and Wildlife conservation.

I am a considerate person and believe myself to be very mindful about other people's feelings.

I'm off to Iceland to be a whale watching guide.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the things I love about travelling and working in tourism is finding those common connections with people from all over the world, being able to bond over something and maybe have your outlooked changed.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love travel biographies and they are the main source of my reading. This is the one I'm currently reading (however I'm not sure I could do solitude for too long) Solitude: Seeking Wisdom in Extremes: A Year Alone in the Patagonia Wilderness.

Other great ones are The Kindness of Strangers: Penniless Across America, Die Trying: One Man's Quest to Conquer the Seven Summits and Tracks: A Woman's Solo Trek across 1700 Miles of Australian Outback.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once sailed across the Adriatic with 2 cyclones forming above me and in the midst of all the chaos I saw a turtle swim by.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been a tour guide in several different places and will be able to offer you detailed information about some of the places I've live or worked. I was also a tour guide in the UK so hopefully can you great tips about travelling around Wales and also the South West like Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Jokes. I have a plethora of jokes from long to very short. All in english though I'm afraid and most of them are pretty bad but I laugh a lot at them which I think is more amusing to the audience.

I can also teach you how to whistle with your fingers (like putting them in your mouth).

I do silly illustrations so I can offer you an illustration. :)
