I was lucky enough to be oversees for about 2 years between 2014 and 2016 traveling, visiting family, volunteering and studying. Couchsurfing was a great way for me to meet people from all over the world, and I learnt so much from them about different ways of living and seeing the world!

Now I'm home I like to keep alive the travel spirit by traveling within my own city, and meeting both locals and foreigners.

I'm caring, playful, and interested in learning and sharing. I like getting involved, whether in a hands-on way, or through conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and share, to experience different cultures and ways of thinking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not sure they're my favourites, but these come to mind...

Books: I just devoured Anais Nin's 'Spy in the House of Love'. I'm currently enjoying Italo Calvino's 'The Baron in the Trees' and Alain De Botton's 'The Consolations of Philosophy'.

Films: On the plane home from South Africa I burst into tears watching 'Rabbit Proof Fence'. I loved 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' and 'Wall-E'.

Music: yes please (eclectic taste)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Danced in a zig (kinesthetic circus sculpture - see photo); walked across northern Spain by myself

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Beginner level acrobalance (circus) - for ALL levels of physical ability ... Not sure, let's see what else!

Learn: Yes please :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation, curiosity, a calm presence, tidiness, acrobalance class, a meal or two, a smile.
