About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To finish yoga teacher training (beginning of June 2015) and get married (beginning of August 2015)

ABOUT ME

I have no idea what to put here...philosopher, poet, pianist, linguist (ish)...

Frustrated anything and everything really but always ready to try again. Everyday is another opportunity to be all that you can be. Not a view shared by many that I've met, hence the need to travel!

PHILOSOPHY

I tied my own shoes once. It is an overrated experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting people. I'm thinking/hoping I'll be able to host people again soon but I've only just moved (yet again) so I'm still settling at the moment. Feel free to get in touch, though, as things change quickly!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with Bruno in Lisbon and hosted Joel and his friends, Nate and Alison, at my parents home. Also met up with Aaron and Nathan on the Isle of Man when Aaron was visiting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ooh let's see...I watched a graduate run light show in Budapest, that was pretty cool. I remember seeing the electric blue ocean in Goa as our car came out of the forest. I remember a particularly "violent" thunderstorm in Georgia when I was there. It was pitch black and the whole sky turned white. And the view from the Moorish castle in Sintra is incredible - well worth the leg-destroying walk up the hill!!
Currently doing yoga teacher training in Dharamkot (near Dharamsala) northern India

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages, music (piano, writing/reading, chords), fitness/diet, juggling (only 3 balls but still), cooking.

I've done counsellor training so I can offer a great listening ear to anyone.

And I'm a brilliant researcher, so if you have any information requests or problems I can probably help you out.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm willing to try anything once, to cook or take my host out for dinner somewhere, share musical tastes, poetry...
I can help teach English and yoga...

I'm a fairly quiet soul by nature so I can also shut up and stay out of the way!

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, India, Portugal

Countries I’ve Lived In

Hungary, United Kingdom
