I come from a picturesque village on the edge of Wales and the Peak District National Park. When I was 21 I began my travelling adventures, 6 months camping in Australia. But even before that I was lucky to have the opportunity to travel around most of England, Scotland and Wales and I've had a few trips over to Ireland as well. I've also travelled a lot of Europe and having lived in Thailand for nearly 10 years I've also seen and experienced many Asian countries. I'm friendly, outgoing and enjoy meeting new people from all places and backgrounds. Learning about new cultures is a passion of mine, but my biggest passion is ..... food. Eating it, cooking it and socializing with it!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I think you can gather I love to travel. Whilst travelling I have met the most amazing, interesting people. I enjoy to just hang out enjoying a delicious meal and glass of wine or sit in the pub. I especially like live music.
I would like to have the opportunity to hang out with YOU (the host!!), so we can share stories and experiences from around the world whilst you introduce me to your place, culture, cuisine and possibly language!!

Interests

My great passions are climbing, horse riding, meditation & Yoga.
I also really love to try new things & to gain as much experience as I can.
