About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get a feel for the places I visit by spending time with locals, I know I have few references but we all have to start somewhere!!!

ABOUT ME

Good sense of humour
Active/sporty - always looking for adventure!
Easy going and sociable
I enjoy getting of the beaten track or out of the city for a while.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is a big place but we can now reach almost all of it. Go and see the places you wish to and enjoy and respect them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing because I like to discover places for what they are not what the guide books say. I love to meet new people and enjoy hearing their stories.

Interests

I love learning about different cultures and places.
I enjoy most sports and love hiking/walking
I am always keen to try new things and adventures.
When in a city I want to see the places locals go, dance and have fun.
I love the ocean

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a geography teacher so know a little about how the world works together. I love to discuss the future of our planet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to listen and learn about new places, people and culture. I also love to talk about the world, places I want to go, amazing things to see and the current state of the world from a geographical and development perspective.

I also want to have and share fun experiences and lots of laughter. It's is good for the soul!
