After working in London for a few years in the bizarrely different fields of financial and environmental consulting, I'm taking time out to travel around Canada and North America. I'm new to couchsurfing but hoping very much to make it a part of my journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience the kindness of humans, and to continue the chain reaction.
After living in London where so many of my interactions were to an extent orchestrated by the economic system, I'm interested in what we can create and experience outside of this

Interests

Travel, adventures, jazz music, piano playing, sustainability and sustainable travel, learning from other cultures, stories... trying to learn French.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - jazz, blues, and anything by the great lyricists
Movies - at the moment movies in French (it might help me learn)
Books - fiction translated into English from another language, anything non-fiction and readable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving my job and taking off with my backpack!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in all learning opportunities - specific focuses include learning French and photography skills. Always interested to hear of local approaches to sustainability.
Hopefully I can give something back, perhaps lessons on the piano if you have one! Or perhaps I can try help you work out your carbon footprint.
I'd love to share book recommendations and recipes!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm really good at making cups of tea (being British and all) and perhaps a space to stay when I'm back in the UK.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Thailand, United States, Viet Nam
