Hey CS fam!

Exciting news—I'm finally able to host again as I've moved into my new place! I'm still settling in, so if you're happy to keep things simple and don't mind a slightly rough sleeping arrangement (think air mattress or couch), you're more than welcome.

I enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life and love hearing about different perspectives. I believe we don’t need to agree to get along, but mutual respect is a must. Kindness and compassion are at the core of how I try to treat others.

I'm neurodiverse, so my sentences can sometimes be a bit scattered, and typos are my constant companions. Consider it part of the charm! 🤭

Interests: Politics 🏢, climate change ☀, spirituality, anime 📺, art 🎨, music 🎶, photography 📸, travel 🚉, hiking 🥾, psychology 🧠, and board games. If you play Settlers of Catan, I’ll automatically accept your host request—though be warned, you’re going to lose! 😂

Also, I’m a proud #dogdad to Jez, aka the Ginger Ninja 🐕. he’s sweet, energetic, and loves meeting new people.

Surfer requests: If you’ve read my profile, you’ll know I value genuine connections. To show me you’ve taken the time to learn a bit about me, include the codeword found somewhere on my profile.

I am looking forward to connecting with you 😉

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm passionate about travelling and making new friends. Connecting with people has profoundly shaped my worldview and life. I hope to share something valuable to those I connect with as well.

One of my newish hobbies is wild camping, so if you're a fellow hiker with tips on wild camping, let's go on some adventures! 🗻 🏕️ Contray to what I just said. I can also be a couch potato 😅🫣

I love to laugh and laugh with others. I enjoy meeting others who don't take themselves too seriously. #BanterIsLife 😉🌍🫱🏻‍🫲🏽

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
How long have you got... 😂
Generally, I'm into action movies and movies with a good plot line. I tend to stay away from horror as I'm a big baby 😅 I am a sucker for a good documentary, a blanket, and hot chocolate.

Books:
I am currently reading a lot of political, spiritual, and psychological books, mainly for work.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked in the Jungle Calais between 2016-2019. The experience transformed my outlook in so many ways.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have plenty to share, but I prefer to listen and learn, so if you enjoy talking, I'm all ears! 😏

I'm currently learning Brazilian Portuguese. If you're a native speaker and interested in a language exchange, drop me a message 🇧🇷🗣️

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am always up for sharing stories, cooking, lots of laughter and basic photography skills
