Overview
About Me
There is more to life. I like to go to new places and see new things, I like to have dinners out with a small group of friends or stay at home and cook. I like to learn new things and like to teach the skills I have. I’m the type of person who is fun at a party and comfortable at one on one chats. I can make a cake from anything that’s in the cupboard in 20 minutes.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to stay with local people that know all the interesting places that aren't in the travel books. I feel staying with locals give you a more rounded view of a place.

Music, Movies, and Books
Favourite book are either a fantasy novel Blood Song (Ravens shadow trilogy), something written by Deepak Chopra. Actually the MADD Adam book series by Margret Atwell.
I only time I watch film is when I want to relaxes, so they won’t be heavy movies. Just watched ‘The Lorax’, great film.
I go to a lots of festivals and really enjoyed live music.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've worked as a crocodile spotter in India, sitting on the roof of boats and pointing out crocodiles. I've done more amazing stuff but I can't think at the minute.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have lots of useful and useless information in my head, from Ayurveda to plastering. If you have an interesting skill I would like to learn it.
Currently learning - Buddhism and mindfulness, trying to speak French, Acro yoga, drawing comics.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I've learnt to cook local dishes from all over my travels. So if you like Indian and Thai food you're in luck. I have good fitness knowledge but people aren't really interested in that :).
