I'm a young 43 yr old female who is getting more and more curious about our lil world and wants to explore as much as I can before I'm too old and unable to do so...hopefully I've got many decades left in me! I'm mature but at times can be incredibly immature, wise yet unwise but still wanting to learn and absorb all that I can yet share my own vast life experiences with others.
I want a good old laugh mostly, it's a medicine that is free and quite easy to gain.

Anyway so after giving up my job at 40 I decided to travel the world for a year..I didn't see the world coz I got blessedly "stuck" in Africa for 9 mnths after falling in love with the continent then headed out and explored some of SE Asia. I returned home to a new job in a new environment..but never settled. So here I am again about to embark on a journey that will take me to India into Nepal, Burma then into rest of SE Asia and Indonesia...for now...Will I make it to Indo..Will I get stuck again? Who knows.. that's the fun part!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm open to meeting local people...I did a years travel a cpl of years ago and this is the only regret I have..I met many local people when I stayed put in a place for a while but never fully integrated I think so having the opportunity to do so this time round would be amazing and hopefully I will learn much much more about the place i'm staying in and it's people and you learn something from me 😊

Interests

Love all things ocean, swimming in it, diving in it and all of its life, nothing comes close to the peace I find when I'm surrounded by bubbles! Love being in nature taking long walks or hikes tho I don't always enjoy it due to previous injuries and niggles I can get!!!
I need to explore my environment and the people around me, real curious about other people's perspectives and open to learning about others way of life. I'm also quite content spending hrs doing nothing but reading in a hammock/beach/wherever!
I love food and finding new flavours, I think trying foods on your travels takes you into the soul of a place, what the people are about and how they love their lives away from the tourist traps.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hmmm where do you start? I like rock to dance music to some blues so a bit of everything...favourite band though is Guns n Roses!
Reading: can't beat a good crime thriller.or a bit of horror!
Movies again varied..from Quentins genius to THE best movie of all time...ET!!! Always cry!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Privileged to have travelled already and giving my life up at the age of 40 to persue my dreams of swimming and learning/ researching sharks and other mega fauna.

Teach, Learn, Share

My passion is marine life, my occupation has been working with people from all backgrounds and demographics here in the UK working within the social care sector and housing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Maturity, immaturity, fun, culture exchange (learn to speak like a northerner English person lol) learn to knit (just about...I'm still a novice but learning!) And I can make a mean scented candle!
I'm also happy to get involved around the home, make a meal. Can't promise it will be great cuisine though!
