I'm currently travelling with my boyfriend around the world. We're hoping to be travelling until November. When I'm not travelling I'm a gardener, having re-trained in 2012. I love getting my hands dirty, seeing the fruits of my labour, and being outside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unfortunately my boyfriend and I heard about couchsurfing too late to invite anyone to our flat in London before we left for our travels. But we hope to couchsurf to meet new people, understand their cultures, hear what and where locals like to go and do, and I'd be lying if I said we weren't doing it to save dosh.

Interests

I'm an outdoorsy kind of person - I love walking, hiking and camping. I will always be in search of the next adventure, whether that's parapenting, ice climbing or just exploring a new place. On the other hand, there's nothing better than to enjoy a good chin wag with friends and family over a cuppa.

Music, Movies, and Books

Since travelling and having more time on my hands, I'm enjoying reading more. Mostly (dare I say it) trashy novels! Am half way through Bill Brysons 'A history of nearly everything' but it's a slow burner. Enjoy thriller movies but nothing too scary! Have a diverse taste in music and enjoy a bit of everything, but don't know what genre it is or even who it's by (!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ice-picked my way up to 6088m in Bolivia with no training. Only one...?!!?!

Teach, Learn, Share

Enjoying learning Spanish and love sharing my horticultural knowledge with anyone that will listen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We'd love to welcome people to our small flat in London next year. We can offer a sofa bed in our lounge, a flat from which to explore London, or relax in our garden. Also included in the package - great conversation, good cooking and excellent local knowledge.
