About Me

I'm a female outdoor instructor living and working in Wales, and I love it! Being in the mountains or on the water just makes me happy and I can't believe I get to share this with people as my job.

In my downtime I can usually be caught snuggled up by a fire reading a book, watching a movie or working away on one of my crochet projects. No, seriously, it's great.

So, whether being adventurous outdoors or keeping warm and cozy indoors I'm pretty happy wherever I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The same reason as everyone else on here I guess, I love to travel. Meeting new people and getting to know different ways of living teaches me so much. Plus seeing some amazing scenery and having awesome adventures isn't too bad.

Travelling is a bug and I definitely have it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled solo around the South Island of New Zealand in my beat-up can't-believe-it-didn't-die-on-me old Honda. It was incredible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach outdoor activities, a little crochet, maybe some baking, lots of English skills, and some Scottish country dancing if you persuade me hard enough.

I'd love to learn everything I can about your different lifestyle, food, culture, thoughts and feelings.

I can share.... that little bit of Scottishness that everyone needs in their life!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to be part of your life for the small amount of time I'm with you, that means chatting, hanging out, visiting places or anything you think would better teach me about your country.

What I'd love to share about myself is my love of my homeland, my love of the outdoors and my love of getting to know people how they are.
