Hello everyone, I'm well travelled, English, open minded, sociable with a good sense of humour. I'm also considerate and easy going, and happy to go with the flow. I love meeting people from all walks of life.

I've got terminal wanderlust, and just can't sop travelling and exploring. 70 countries now and counting. :)

Oh and I clean up after myself too and will treat your precious couch (and apartment!) with the respect it deserves. I make every effort to be friendly and engage but also give people the space they need to relax and get on with their daily stuff in their own home. Eternally grateful to my hosts for kindness and trust they show in opening up their homes to a stranger.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met some incredible people through couch surfing, people who have literally changed my life. I learnt a lot from my hosts and hope I shared some of what I have gained with them too. It's always been rewarding, uplifting and fun without exception.

Sometimes it's even be too positive, it's been a wrench to say goodbye to some of the absolutely wonderful people I met here! Truly.

I have travelled in all sorts of ways and in the entire spectrum of budgets from the most luxurious (I was a hotel/resort travel writer) to crashing overnight on picnic tables! I can do the lot.

Interests

I like travelling, scuba diving, writing, film, culture, hiking, marathon running, and exploring anything a bit weird or out of the ordinary (anything with character even if its a bit freaky)! I like fiction, following international events, arts and sciences, nature and enjoying the variety of life itself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Tonnes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Balanced a mug of coffee on my cat's head for 3 or 4 seconds.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot of travel experiences from dozens of countries under my belt and can share tips or stories. I am always interested in learning what I can from the people I meet; there's always more to see, hear and know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy chats, relaxed socialising, travel tips, a few drinks, a spot of hiking and getting out and about.
