Hi,
I'm Saskia. I am from the Cotswolds in England and work as a grower for an organic farm - Daylesford Organic. I like to take a long holiday in February each year as it is our quietest time and I like to soak up some sun and warm up!
I'm happiest when I'm outside doing something active and enjoy local fresh food and traditions. I laugh a lot and enjoy simplicity in life.
I love to travel and like making myself part of a community rather than just tourism which is why i'd like to try couchsurfing.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet someone to show me the real Barbados rather than the touristic side. To take me to the wild beaches, show me the best places to walk and eat the freshest fruit and veg available.

I'd like to keep up my fitness whilst away so keen to hook up with a gym that offers fitness classes. It would be great if my host knew where I could go or would like to join me. I'd like to explore some of the agriculture of Barbados and see as much wild life as I possibly can.

Mainly I'd like to make a new friend and hopefully someone who can show me the real Barbados!
