Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel the world, tick off the things on my bucket list and decide where in world I want finally call home.
ABOUT ME
I have been travelling since I turned sixteen and everytime I tick a location or experience off my list another one appears.
After travelling and trying out lots of different jobs, I made my best decision ever and trained as a physio. I love my job and I am now travelling the world trying to decide where to call home.
I try to live my life to the absolute fullest and will try almost anything once. I like the random experiences that travelling brings and diversity of people it lets me meet.
PHILOSOPHY
Do no harm, live with no regrets and say yes whenever I can.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
At the moment surfing and meeting up with people for coffee and a chat whenever I can. When I finally find the place I want to call home my couch will be open for business.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
This trip feels like the culmination of many other trips. I stayed with an American I met in Vietnam whilst in China. A brit I met in Laos in Singapore and was collected from depensar airport by a couple I met in Cambodia.
These were fellow travellers who became friends, stayed with me in the UK but have also met me in other random locations around the world.
Here I also want to mention Peter Clarkson (Neptune1960) an amazing host, tour guide and friend that was taken from us too soon in a shark attack at Coffin Bay, South Australia on the 17/2/2011. You are missed my first Aussie friend and CS host and will never be forgotten, by all those you welcomed into your home and life.
Interests
Holistic therapy and human anatomy and physiology- I am a geek who loves my job.
Diving, I have my advanced open water and love exploring the sea both by day and night.
Travelling of course and socialising. I am also a bit of a movie buff and am a boogie fiend when I hit the dance floor. When I'm at home I bake to chill out and can be found at any local event that is a bit different.

Music, Movies, and Books
Love film. I am trying to work my way through all the classics that everyone talks about that I haven't seen.
Book wise I always have one on the go but at the moment it is whatever I pick up at book swaps along the way.
Music is more background for me, my friends have filled my expansion drive with albums hoping to 'educate' me on this trip.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Trekked through the jungle, staying in tree houses only accessible by zip wire looking for rare monkeys. Danced samba at the Rio Carnival. Scuba dived with manta rays. Been inside King Tut's tomb. Toured the DMZ in Vietnam, on the back of a motorbike with a vietnam vet. Watch a pack of lions hunting at sunrise on the Massi Mara.
Teach, Learn, Share
Errrrr. Well I'm a physio so if you feel the need to expand your human anatomy and rehab knowledge I'm your girl.
I make a mean chicken curry and other baked goodies if you want a lesson.
