I love to travel when I can afford to and when work permits. I really enjoy getting to know local culture and the people. I have travelled to 4 different continents including Antarctica and am always looking for adventure in my holidays.
The most beautiful things in life are not things. They are people and places, memories and pictures. They are feelings and moments, smiles and laughter'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a backpacker style traveler and love the idea of meeting people who live locally as well as providing that same opportunity for people passing through my town.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like chilled out/relaxing music generally listening to it when I am cooking, painting or just chilling in the house.
I enjoy reading research articles on my area of physiotherapy (ageing and falls prevention) I also enjoy biographical novels.
Movies - huge variety but a favourite movie and book - the memoirs of a geisha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sailed on Bark Europa to Antarctica in Feb 2015. To sail a 101 year old ship across the roughest seas to the most spectacular place I've been was by far a highlight in my life to date.
