I'm an adventurous, sociable and friendly Scottish girl. I've been living and working in London for the last 15 years, firstly in Investment Banking and then in the charity sector after deciding on a career change. I'm currently travelling the world for a year. I've spent 5 months in Asia and am now heading to Canada, US and Central America.

I enjoy exploring cities and people watching, but my real enjoyment is in the outdoors - hiking, cycling or just exploring nature. I am a massive foodie, love to cook, love dancing Salsa and bachata and am also learning Spanish.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I would love to experience the real local culture by getting to know local people rather than just hanging out with other backpackers all the time. I would also love the opportunity to practice my Spanish if you speak Spanish, but this is definitely not essential!

兴趣

Well... I love food!! Cheese & chocolate are 2 of my favourite things. Hence one of my favourite places on my travels was a tiny little village called Salinas in Ecuador where they have both chocolate & cheese factories.... mmmmmm! Also i can make a chocolate mug cake in the microwave in 2 minutes!

I love adventure sports like snowboarding, skydiving, bungy jumping, hiking, snorkelling. I mountain biked the ´Death Highway´ in Bolivia. 2hrs downhill with a 200m cliff the entire way and hundreds of crosses where people have fallen off. Probably the craziest thing i´ve done.... other than going down an asbestos filled mine and blowing up dynamite.... but that was just stupid!

I enjoy going out to musicals, concerts, art exhibitions, festivals. I love cooking, especially Thai food. Ah... how did i get back to food again!!
