About Me

Peace, love and absurdity! I love climbing, nature and adventure. :)

Currently live with 3 housemates, we want to make connections and share culture.
We play music together regularly, you're welcome to jam with us.

Happy to help out visitors, we're based in Heswall, Wirral between Liverpool and Wales.

Please read our profile/home and check out where we are before copy pasting requests saying you wish to stay in Liverpool. 🙃

PHILOSOPHY

You can never step in to the same river twice. By the time you try, both yourself and the river have changed forever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What better way when in a new country than to make friends to share my time with?
I want to make real connections with the people that I visit, life is not about small talk, but the real conversations that I have with open people who open their souls to each other make life worth living.

Also, to share my home to this wonderful community and welcome new friends to our city.

Interests

I love spending time exploring nature! Forests and lakes and just spending time listening to the world.
Currently teach people how to boulder/rock climb. Can get you free entry to our gym to try it out if you'd like.

I love cooking, I grew up sitting in restaurant kitchens watching the chefs create magical dishes. I think some of that has rubbed off on me and I really put my soul in to the food I cook.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped a stranger to not end their life. Made a new friend. ☺️

Walked to the top of a mountain temple in hot season.

Lived in a forest teaching bushcraft and survival skill.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach all sorts really. I could maybe help you climb up some local boulders.

Learn: You can't walk down the street without learning. I love to learn anything from people, teach me and I will listen.

Share: I love sharing food, if you'd like to cook and prepare a meal together I'll be there. We also love jamming with guests. We have loads of instruments and are happy to play together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share myself, my stories and my heart. Also I'm a decent cook and would love to prepare a meal with you! I've done a weird mixture of jobs and so probably have a fair few skills from each of those that I could share. I also Studied Outdoor Education at University, so if you want to get out and adventure I'll be there.
Oh yeah, I also know way too many games! Let's play!
