I am a 30yr old paediatric nurse who gave it all up give it for a chance of a lifetime 7month journey through South America with my favourite partner in crime, Rich.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We have spent the last 5months travelling the slow roads, really immersing ourselves in the all that South America has to offer. We want to steer clear of flashy hotels, preferring to spend time with locals, improving our Spanish and really experiencing the South American way of life.

We are calling on hosts in Medellin so if you think we would be a good fit, please let us know. Let’s share a cervesa 😁

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding in 3 countries, Switzerland, Nepal and New Zealand ☺ It is the best combination of adrenaline and floating through the air, do yourself a favour!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach- crochet and crafts, quick home renovation hacks

Learn- I would love the opportunity to expand on my minimal Spanish, but am open to all new experiences!

Share- health and fitness knowledge, a love of good wine and late night chats, good food, friendship and return accommodation should you decide to make a journey downunder ☺

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a neat and tidy person, who won’t shy away from a hard days work. I can share my good humour, love of children, passion for outdoor activities and adventure and, of course, my mother tongue! Please see my partner, Rich’s profile to get an idea of what we can bring as a couple :) https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/richayb
