CURRENT MISSION

What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other? -- George Eliot

ABOUT ME

I like the simple life - am happiest when surrounded by people and nature. I spent six months travelling Europe, challenging myself to live differently from the typical routine that life at times becomes.

PHILOSOPHY
"We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words - to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it" - CS Lewis

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
couchsurfing is a way for me to see more of the world whether travelling or at home and also make some great connections with others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
fantastic so far - can't rate it highly enough, experiencing the kindness and generosity of people is an uplifting and humbling way to live.

Interests

Always up for travelling and adventure. I love being in the outdoors, anywhere I can see or touch green is contentment enough for me.

I like to make connections with people, enjoy most music, dig good films, love to read and explore new places.

Music, Movies, and Books

now they are three categories that I have too many to list, though some of my favourite authors are D.H. Lawrence, Henry David Thoreau, Henri Nouwen and John Powell.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once swam with sharks, which was an experience I am happy not to repeat. Exhilarating, but also terrifying so my cortisol levels can stay stable for awhile before I contemplate any more life-threatening activities.

Teach, Learn, Share

The essentials of life - if you're not doing this you've ceased to live.

I'm pretty crazy about the little people, there's nothing like being around developing personalities.
