CURRENT MISSION

To travel is to live.

If you only have one goal, make it to explore as much of this beautiful, mysterious, and intriguing planet as you can. Take time to appreciate its diversity; witness raw beauty, be humbled, identify and connect, and realise unexpected likenesses.

My partner Rob and I are currently planning a trip around Spain and Latin America, with the goal of becoming fluent in Spanish and gaining a better understanding of local history and culture.

CS is a great place to meet like-minded people and we hope that through sharing stories and our passion for travelling, we will have a far more enriching experience.

ABOUT ME

I have previously spent a year travelling, which was life changing. It awoke a passion within me that I cannot forget.

I have since returned to London to work for 5 years.

Although I have taken smaller trips during this time, nothing can match the feeling of being able to explore and integrate, and move freely and naturally. I am ready to go again. How long for this time...

PHILOSOPHY

Understand the world we are part of. Be proud of the world we are part of. Love the world we are part of.

Live life to the full every day. Learn not to regret.

Make memories not money.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently not hosting as I am in the process of renting out my flat, although would be happy to meet any CS for coffee/drinks in London.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only managed to use CS twice on my last trip, once to surf, another to host. Both experiences were fun and included going partying with locals in Buenos Aires until 6am, and also enjoying a French film at the cinema with a French couple in Perth (when I lived in Australia).

Outside of CS, I have benefitted from the kindness of so many people on my travels and I would like to give something back.
