About Me

I want to learn and discover all the time. I like experiences that challenge me. And I love other people's stories!

I'm involved in quite a lot of activism especially to do with rights if refugees and migrants, but also interested in ecology and anarchism in general!:)

I'm known for being super sociable, good humoured,(but if i dont agree with you, expect to be challenged!) easily entertained, and laughing too loudly(by British standards). Also for my enthusiasm for dancing as much as i can!

I also love being close to nature. I love quiet places with nice views and lots of colours. In cities i get hungry for colour and that tells me when i need to leave!

PHILOSOPHY

Take everything seriously, except yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mutual aid! That is, we all live better and happier when we take care of each other! (And don't pay someone else to do it, eg. hotels!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

No Borders Bulgaria 2011.proving that anarchy works!
Hitchhiking in Turkey. Lift, tea, no questions asked!
Lived on Arxanon street in Athens. It taught me everything!
Walked parts of the South West coast path in England! An incredibly lovely path unknown to most of the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

English...If you want/need it..i worked as a teacher.And i've done lots of proofreading of job/uni applications and dissertations. can be useful!

Hula hooping! It gives you a "reason" (if you need one) to dance in the street! It's also good for core and coordination!

A little bit of yoga basics!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Fun! I like laughing and joking, dancing , stories, silliness and adventures!
I also like cleaning (quite often hosts have come back to a sparkly new kitchen!).
And i will happily cook, (but i will tell you what friends say about my food first)!
