Everyone calls me Beth. When I was 13, I had my first taste of adventure travelling to Indonesia - visiting my uncle who lives there. While in Indonesia, I enjoyed snorkelling, exploring new places and discovering a new culture which inspired me to explore. Since then I have had a desire to travel and to seek out new experiences.

At home I work as a Instructor for adventurous activities such as, kayaking, climbing and hiking. I practically live in the outdoors and I love being in nature.

The thing I love most about travelling the world is the different people I get to meet and stories I hear. I am a very friendly open person, let's start as strangers and leave as friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, share stories and make new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music wise I like Indie/folk and rock like The Cat Empire, First Aid Kit and Catfish And The Bottleman. I also really like Portugal The Man and The King Blues but I have an open mind to new music and love listening to other people's playlists.

I LOVE to read and I am not fussy. I will read pretty much any genre of book, fiction or non-fiction. To pick my next read I usually ask for recommendations rather then browsing a bookshop because I would literally be in there for hours trying to choose. So if you have read anything good recently please let me know.

I think films are best watched at the cinema. Comedys are my favourite but I enjoy a good action, romance and the occasional horror film as well. Popcorn is a must.
