Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
After years of being trapped in the UK.
I am finally a free range chicken once again and ready to take on the world again. Currently travelling with my boyfriend (Chris) and ready to experience the world and all its delights.
ABOUT ME
I am a 33 year old Lancashire lass living in Scarborough. (Traitor I know!) Can't beat seaside air and the endearing shithole that is Scarborough!
When I am not gallivanting around the world I am a Physiotherapist working within the NHS acute sector in the UK.
However much I love my job and work.. I love travelling even more and so every now and again I love to just escape the miserable British weather and accrue new experiences and friends.
I have a very relaxed view on life and live life as much as I can! I am happiest when I am in nature, mountains, hiking, by the water or 30ms underwater with mask, tank and wetsuit!
If there is something exciting I haven't tried.. I will want to try it!
PHILOSOPHY
Why worry about something you have no influence over.
Life is for living.. dont let it pass by.
Focus on what you can do.. not on what you can't do.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet lots of new and like minded people.
Interests
I have discovered a love for urbexing, street art and the beauty of abandoned buildings.
I have a huge love for music of all types.. from Heavy Metal to Dance/electronica to native traditional music to ska. I especially love seeing music live including festivals.
I am keen to keep fit and generally take care of myself. I regularly attend the gym (I actually love burpees!), yoga and pole fitness. Though travelling it’s easy to fall off that bandwagon.
I like theatre- especially The Book of Mormon and Matilda!
Socialising, dancing and probably drinking a little more than I should.. I am British.. that is my excuse and I'm sticking with it!
Food is a huge part of my travels and i love eating and trying local delicacies. However odd. I am a veggie but occasionally a bad one!
I am always happy to cook with hosts!
Music, Movies, and Books
All types of music really.
Movies I like pretty much anything and everything, mood dependant.
Books: I am a huge GoTs fan, Terry Pratchett, LoTRs, Harry Potter (I am British.. why break the cliche!?)Phillipa Gregory, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series and 1984.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hmmm.. how to choose!?
I have been hitch hiking through Canada and the rocky mountains, skydiving, bungee jumping, canyon swinging, canyoning, volunteered in Nepal, Worked the American Summer Camps, paragliding, roller derby, volunteering aboard The Mercy Ships as a Physiotherapist.
