About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Avoid the conventional life.

ABOUT ME

I am a laid back traveller who loves meeting other people, learning about their cultures/traditions and the country they are from.

I've been living in Newcastle in the UK for the last 4 years but recently decided to move back to Canada and am backpacking for 3 months before doing so.

PHILOSOPHY

Risk more than others think is safe.
Care more than others think is wise.
Dream more than others think is practical.
Expect more than others think is possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently couchless as I am backpacking but I love meeting up with fellow couchsurfers in different places all over the world.

Interests

My favourite way to get to know a city is by wandering lost through its streets. Other than wandering lost, I love going to concerts, coffee shops, the theater and out to pubs for a drink or a dance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not a chance I could narrow this down to one thing, I have been so fortunate to meet the most amazing people and see the most amazing things all around the world.

However, my favourite part of most countries is the wildlife - as an animal lover, the most memorable moments are getting to connect with animals in their natural habitat such as getting to pet kangaroos, swim with wild dolphins, watch condors flying around a gorge.
