ABOUT ME

After a number of years saving, slaving and planning, I finally departed on my round-the-world trip in Jan 2011. Its the trip of a lifetime and I am hoping to make every second count by filling it with new experiences, friends, foods and culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am travelling at the moment, so I am exclusively a surfer for the time being.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I heard about couchsurfing from a South Korean girl I met on a 17-hour sleeper train journey in India. She made it sound so good I just had to join up to see for myself.

Interests

Books, music, movies, food, wine; all the good stuff that makes life rich.

I get my buzz from being around horses. I also enjoy yoga and the fine art of TV-watching.

I love tea, especially with a chocolate biscuit and a good chat!
