About Me

I am a happy go lucky, active girl from a small town in north wales, I am addicted to travelling and hope to see and experience as much as I can of the world, There is so much more I want to see!
The main reasons i love travelling so much is that it opens your mind, you have the chance to meet so many new and different people, you get to try all the new flavors and foods, experience different cultures and learn how other people live, see some of the most amazing landscapes, experiencing so many different activities some that you never thought you would, trying out new languages and making friends all over the world.
I love being out and about experiencing all I can of new places, so if you can give me any tips on what to see and do in the area that would be awesome!! you can even join me if your free :) it's always fun to check out the area with someone who knows where their going, I get lost a lot but it usually works out
I love the water, mountains, beaches and just being outside so if there any activities going on i would love to give them a go!
I am a very respectful, tidy, easy going and will help out as much as I can, usually keen for a beer but also happy to not drink. Generally just happy to hang out or to visit places along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing with the hope of meeting people from all over the world 😄 and of course to give back when I have a base, I want all the travellers to stay with me .
I'm on it to experience more of the world to learn and expand my mind and life
Its nice to stay with people who know the in's and out's of a place, maybe show you those secret spots you would never have found before!!
and maybe be introduced to a new activity, idea , concept , way of life

Interests

I love to travel!! Seeing new places and finding out more about each country is my most favourite thing to do.
Oh and I love food!!i love learning to make new food and most of all eating it
I also really enjoy doing things outside which can be anything from hiking, climbing, rock jumping and pretty much anything that involves water :) and I love to scuba dive!! anyone who does any slacklining/ climbing/ hiking/ yoga/ surfing I'm super keen to try more of these things!!
And of course I love getting to know people and hanging out.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most types of music :) especially upbeat acoustic style, classic rock obviously :) I love music from the 60's, 70's, you can't beat some of the old classics and if I'm being honest I'm not a big fan of heavy metal, maybe you could change my mind.

Movies I love comedies and I like to watch horrors, I like the ones that make you jump even if I am hiding behind a pillow. Please note will only watch a horror if followed by a comedy 😂

I love reading books that are based on true stories. Or books that teach me something, open my mind to new concepts and ideas, or make me question old ones.
I'm now on the lookout for my next book if anyone has any suggestions

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with manta rays when I was in Fiji was incredible they are awesome creatures!!

Scuba diving -incredible favourite place was the Philippines so far

Hitchhiked on the ferry to Morocco

Sailed on a sail boat from Spain to Sardinia

Volunteered in south east Asia, Greece

Climbed Mt hyuini potossi in Bolivia probably one of the hardest hikes I will ever do

Watched volcanoes erupt in central America

Bungee jumping - gets scarier every time

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help teach English as much as I can for anybody wanting to improve

I am always looking to pick up more of any language, travelling around so much can make it difficult to concentrate fully on one

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share travel stories a laugh and good company.

I will share whatever I can wherever possible, I usually have food and potentially beers

I like tea these days so could share a cup or two
