Overview
About Me
I follow my nose. I believe in living life true to the person you are. I could be considered addicted to learning and I am definitely dedicated to sharing what I learn!
I enjoy trying out new activities whenever possible, especially anything physical. I've recently started calisthenics style practice and I'm taking up capoeira in September.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have only hosted once so far but I have surfed a number of times. I haven't used Couchsurfing for a while so I'm keen to get back into it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I climbed Kilimanjaro when I was 19, went by myself and met some awesome people along the way.
Traveled across Europe Russia Mongolia and China by train through some amazing scenery in the winter.
Teach, Learn, Share
I believe we are all teachers. I have a relentless pursuit of learning new skills and sharing them is the biggest reward.
