About Me

There is only this moment and in it I feel peace.
Feeling love towards myself and others.
Being open to everything.
Willing to have my opinions challenged - always learning.

The rough plan is to combine travel with volunteer teaching. I've just passed my TEFL and started - I love it! Kids make you ¡think!

I feel more settled on the road with freedom at my fingertips.

One thing I'd love to do is learn Spanish if anyone can help me practice!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just love it. I meet the best people on here. Shout out to Suz my awesome host in Amsterdam who shaved my head!
I want to connect with all the kind hearted, fantastic, creative people out there and share the best moments.
I travel solo, so CS is like a surrogate family to me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed out the back of a train carriage in Romania as it rocketed through the night. I wooped and screamed into the darkness and all sound was obliterated apart from the thundering noise of the train and there was nothing to see but shadows being swept backwards and the icy air sucking my breath away and hair being blown out like streamers behind me. Hands clutching onto side handles, empty space between my feet, so conscious of my own mortality.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cookery skills, English language, crochet class, origami class, life experience to share

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to have evenings with lovely happy people, swapping stories. I can cook a meal or clean or do odd jobs, and if there are any musicians out there get in touch, I sing and love to collaborate. I can share my creativity and spirit!
I'm a beginner at yoga but you can practice with me! (Once I even got my dad to try - proof everyone can do it!)
