ABOUT ME

I'm a happy, relaxed, curious person. I've spent a lot of my life studying and trying out different types of jobs but most recently I've been travelling and teaching English in Indonesia. I love being underwater, hiking in the mountains, riding old bikes on 0% incline roads, walking, farming and gardening and just generally being outside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only surfed so far but hopefully I can host one day too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couch surfed a few times so far - in the US, Canada and Russia. Met amazing and generous people every time. I also got involved in the local couch surfing community in Cambridge who have weekly social events. I haven't been active here for a number of years but am back out exploring the world now.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most kinds of music but I'm not really into dance, hiphop and that kind of stuff. I love gypsy music and am mildly obsessed with the accordian. I like movies that make me think and books that teach me things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a goat standing perfectly on the top of an Austrian mountain.

Hiked on the border of Tibet and the Himalayas for 6 days staying with random Chinese families and collapsing old huts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am now a qualified English teacher so am happy to help out with this. Since I'm moving to Italy I'm trying to learn Italian so would love some help with this.
I also want to learn how to fix old bikes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and would be happy to make you a meal, or 2 or 3. I also legitimately quite enjoy doing the dishes. Otherwise I can offer nice company and fun travel stories.
