About Me

Down to earth, open, warm, loving, friendly and fun girl. Love adventuring and try to live simply and gently. Veggie (aspiring vegan ;). Spiritual. I enjoy listening and exploring life with others.

Just back to London after a 2year 'gap year' living in Spain, Colombia and Nepal - working, volunteering and travelling. Settling down into the new chapter and trying to find new rhythm. I'm a social worker and massage therapist. Extra circular - try to keep active, run, cycle, love dancing, get out in nature, play in a Afro-Brazilian drumming group, volunteer, meditate.

Life is beautiful, sacred.. I want to embrace and respect it. To love..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CS when I moved to Spain following a transition period in my life. Travelling alone for the first time it sounded a great way to meet folk and get to know a place. It feels very important to share life with others.. those close and far from home.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not a fan of 'favourite' questions I'm afraid... but I'll try!

MUSIC: like a mix - depending on my mood. To relax - hmm perhaps a bit of Bob Marley or Baaba Maal. To dance.. something with a a bit of funk/grove (haha - yeah I'm sure that's clear ;)

MOVIES: again - depends!

BOOKS: Always love something that inspires or allows me to escape..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

... ran a marathon in 3hr 28min baby... and I used to be able to do the splits (no idea if I still can)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to explore life and learn from others.. to hear people's stories, life experiences, adventures, quirks..

(.. and to have a chance to practice my Spanish is always a great bonus!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hmm.. warmth, openness, chats, fun - and you're lucky - I'll throw in a massage!

.. and of course gratitude :)
