About Me

From the UK... currently travelling until I stumble across the next thing... love people and love the outdoors. Even better when both are combined

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've found that the best thing about travelling is the people you meet. Sharing memories with people always enhances the place...hence couchsurfing

Interests

Travelling, hiking, reading, writing, fooooooood, running (very much beginner level but loving getting better), badminton, cycling, kayaking, conservation, films....scrabble (guilty geeky pleasure)

MOVIES... The Grand Budapest Hotel, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Way Way Down, Still Alice, Tracks, Into the Wild (book is awesome too)...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kayaking in deserted Vietnamese islands

Teach, Learn, Share

Share travel experiences and good times :) lots of conversation...one of my favourite things is to just chat whole hours away getting to know people

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you get the chance to come along with me, can guarantee I'll be a friendly hiking/cycling/running buddy for the day... Or would even love to just chill in a cafe as I have a serious weakness for NZ coffee...not to mention those complimentary chocolate fish you get.

I like to cook a bit differently. I'm pretty experimental with my food, and I'm of the mindset that the best thing about cooking is sharing it. My travels in Asia have definitely reinforced this, as well as giving me a different approach to cooking. Baking can never go amiss either... I'm curious about healthier alternatives, as I live in a gluten-free, dairy-free home, and would be fun to share these with whoever I stay with.
