About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel far and wide and make the best friends!

ABOUT ME

Seriously have the travel bug ever since leaving the sleepy south west of England! I spent two wild years in Australia and loved every minute of it. This included a whirlwind trip to South east Asia for a couple of months where I would love to return (with more money!)
I've just returned from six months in South America, an incredible, varied, vast continent full of possibilities, colour and great people.
I found a job I love in teaching English as as a foreign language and hope to keep travelling with this for a few more years!

PHILOSOPHY

If it feels good, do it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet exciting, diverse, funny and intelligent people and learn from them about their view of the world, hopefully give the same back!

Interests

I'm passionate about all music, enjoy reading and surfing whenever it's possible, best waves of my life in Bali, Oz, Peru and how could I forget my home county of Cornwall.

Music, Movies, and Books

British comedy for me every time, love a good documentary and I've come to love South American authors; Marquez and Llosa are my favourites!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting deep in the temples of Angkor Wat and definitely exploring Ningaloo reef in Australia! Hiking to over 5000m on rainbow mountain in Peru, Galapagos and digging the Salsa scene in Colombia.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I love helping others learn English the way they want to, I'm passionate about (and average at!) surfing. The ability to cook amazing food I'd love to get better at!
