CURRENT MISSION

"Plus est en vous"

ABOUT ME

We have been living & working in the Lake District for 4 years. I work for The Outward Bound Trust at the Head Office in Hackthorpe - I help Scottish schools & colleges arrange courses for their young people. (www.outwardbound.org.uk)

PHILOSOPHY

This is always changing as I develop and grow as a person - for now I am liking this one:
"It may seem at times as if invisible fingers move us about like puppets on strings. But for sure, We are not born to be dragged along. We can grab the strings ourselves and adjust the course at every crossroad, or take off at any little trail into the unknown."- Thor Heyerdahl, Kon-Tiki

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Inactive over the past couple of years, other then offering advice on the Lake District. Whilst living in Fort William I met up with a couple of CSers for drinks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have taken part in CS get togethers in Helsinki, Edinburgh, Delhi, Goa, Hamburg, Cape Town & Fort William - all great, positive life experiences!

Interests

Travel, running (road & hill running), singing, ashtanga yoga, meditation, hiking, cycling, sailing, snowboarding, reading, personal-development, photography, spending time with friends or spending spending time meeting new friends, cooking, cinema, live music - always open to trying out new things which I may or may not have had an interest in before.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having spent 5 years on cruise ships sailing almost all of the "7 seas" I have been fortunate to see many amazing places - out of all the places though I have been to Machu Picchu, the Giza Pyramids and more recently the Taj Mahal were truly amazing. Having said that I am almost more happy at a local market experienceing the sights, sounds and smells - great for keeping the senses working.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have traveled extensively either independently or through work and so I am always happy to share or help with any questions.
I am happy to share my eperiences with yoga and meditation, even though they relatively new to me. And I have been told I am a good cook, so always up for experimenting and sharing cooking tips!
I can now share a Champissage (Indian Head Massage) having recently qualified.
I am always looking to learn more about myself & how to live life to the fullest.
