I would definitely describe myself as outgoing and adventurous. I have just returned to Europe after 14 months travelling around South and Central America. I love travelling, experiencing new cultures and meeting new people.

I really love to break the status quo and challenge myself; I can't sit still for long! I push the boundaries and challenge myself as hard as I can, because as cheesy as it sounds - we are not here for long, so we may as well try and make the most of it and enjoy it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and learn about the places they live.

Interests

I am in my element when walking in the English countryside, cycling, hiking in the mountains or being on the water! I love sailing and kayaking, and really want to learn kiteboarding.

Music, Movies, and Books

My Spotify playlists are so very varied. I love everything to British Indie Rock, through to classical music and then on to Latin American music.

I have made sure I keep the playlist refreshed for all of those ridiculously long bus journeys I have had to contend with in South America.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I completed the three peaks challenge in the UK - climbing the three tallest peaks in the UK (not much compared to those in South America!) within 24 hours... pretty cool.

I love love love hiking, and am wanting to better this with some other mountain challenges... maybe assenting a 6,000m one?

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to improve my Spanish language skills. As a native English speaker, I can of course help out with anyone learning!

I love to learn about the history of the countries I visit, to understand the backgrounds and cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My infectious laughter! I am a half decent cook, really enjoy topical conversations and learning about new places and cultures and I can also offer up some English language for those who would like to learn / improve.
