About Me

Traveller who has been moving around the world slowly for the last 10 years. Love to experience new cultures and connect with people I meet in each place. Happy with my nose in a good book, or chatting over a coffee in a bustling cafe. Love to share my travels with others and hear about the world from others, too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing looks like an amazing way to connect with local hosts and see the true side of the places I will be visiting around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a wide range of books and movies, but mostly travel, fantasy, or sci-fi as I love discovering new things and seeing what else is out there beyond what I know. Musically, I swing from peaceful tunes to something with a beat when I'm running, and most things in between.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked the Great Wall of China, dived in the Great Barrier Reef, been paragliding in the Himalayas, as well as hiking halfway up the 10th tallest mountain in the world. I'm always looking for amazing things to do around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've taught English in several countries and love to help out others when I can. I want to do more volunteer work as I travel, too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A few stories and conversation on a quiet night, as well as my own insights from around the world.
