***I'M CURRENTLY RELOCATING TO THE UK. I'LL BE ACCEPTING SURFERS AGAIN IN 2020***

Hello surfers !

I was infected with the travel bug when I got my first beat up car at 16. I immediately set out on a 1000-mile drive to visit the shores of Maine. One of my favourite novels as a teenager was about a young girl who had to navigate the woods of western Maine and finds a her salvation and emotional resolution when she finds the ocean. The descriptions were so vivid and emotionally charged! I had to see if it was actually so magnificent - and it was.

Books continue to motivate my travels today. I read King Rat some years ago and I'm plotting to visit Changi someday soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I'm not able to go and see the world, I hope the world will come see me.

I went swimming in the ocean with bioluminescent plankton.

It was like swimming through a starry sky
