About Me

CURRENT MISSION

New stuff, new mountains, new friends, more new stuff.....

ABOUT ME

I am addicted to change, therefore travel features heavily in my life. I tend to live somewhere for a couple of years, exploring the region as much as possible, then moving to another part of the world and starting over.

Absolutely love the couchsurfing idea - love to help people out, probably even slightly more than I love people helping me out.....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I joined couchsurfing a while back, I've never really used it, because I've always lived in popular tourist spots and the demand from warmshowers and hospitality club was already quite high. As a touring cyclist I've hosted a number of cyclists through warmshowers over the years. Before that I was very active on hospitality club site. My profile name is phillipa on both those sites.

Now that I'm about to move to Russia, I think it's time to switch to couchsurfing.

Interests

Mountains and bicycles (though not in combination) are my primary focus. The 2 things that excite me the most when I'm travelling are meeting new people and exploring new landscapes. I'm often somewhat ashamed at my lacklustre interest in museums, etc. Must try harder.

Music, Movies, and Books

indie music.... quality films and book.... there's so much out there in the world - i had to narrow it down to just the good stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

cycle touring through the stans and iran. and seeing lenin's body in moscow was pretty mindblowing for me....
