Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have an intense interest in how people live across different cultures and countries, and I would love to bug any consenting fellow traveller about what they have experienced!

Also keen to jet around the world before I'm too old for skipped lunches, budget accommodation and strange traveling times.

Interests

Across the board anything creative. I also have a slightly unhealthy obsession with food and at the moment, growing it.

My philosophies tend towards the greenie, liberal type, though I'd like to think I'm quite open-minded! And yes, I'm vegetarian as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made lifelong friends and had such a fantastic time making trips on a whim around Europe. My friends and family have developed selective hearing upon hearing the words "In Salzburg /insert European country..."

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything and everything, though I would like to pick up a few words in as many languages as possible and a recipe would be greatly appreciated!
