About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Regret nothing, experience everything

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the English countryside which I loved. I then went to university and spent a summer holiday working in a hotel in Vancouver, Canada. I had the time of my life and caught the travelling bug. After graduation, I saved up for a plane ticket to South America. I taught english there for a while and learnt spanish over the next few years. I love meeting people from different countries and cultures, and love speaking another language, it gives a whole new perspective on life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a few couch surfers and I hope to couch surf across Europe in the near future in order to go to my friend's wedding in Turkey. I gave up flying a few years ago for enviromental reasons so all my holidays since then have involved trains :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

An Italian guy came to stay one night with my parents...and he ended up staying as their lodger for a year!

Interests

I'm interested in living in more sustainably on this beautiful planet, treating it with the respect it deserves and slow, ethicially responsible, travel is the way forward!

I love outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and tennis. I also love dancing, music, reading, cooking, independent (often foreign) film, people watching and growing my own food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most incredible place I have been is Foz do Iguacu waterfalls on the border of Brazil/Paraguay/Argentina. All I can remember now are the amazing butterflies everywhere and the roar of the water as it cascaded down.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am beginning to gain knowledge of growing vegetables from my experiences at my local community organic vegetable garden. I have quite a bit of knowledge about ways of "saving the environment" and conservation. I do yoga.
