About Me

So I quit my job and sold all my possessions an left to travel the world. A bit late in life but I am trying to make up for it. Have never tried this couchsurfing before but have found I have met the best and most interesting people in these kind of situations so figured I'd give it a try. I love new experiences and the crazy adventures you go on with complete strangers when you travel. I enjoy seeing how other people and cultures live their lives from day to day. I am a chef by trade and also recently qualified yoga instructor. I have many varied interests and will always try something new. I believe stepping out of your comfort zone is where life begins. Have made many new amazing friends along the way and hope to make many more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel it will be the best way to really experience a culture and not just be a tourist.
