I will try anything, not afraid to immerse myself into new things and hopefully bring a smile to the face of others whilst I do so.
Don't take myself very seriously at all and accepting of everyone's opinions and values.
Have worked for a young peoples charity for 4 years giving them training, qualifications, skills and aided their development into community leaders for the future. Now work as a Social Action Coordinator assisting in community cohesion projects, having got 6000 young people volunteering in 4 years.
Enjoy a drink, be it coffee or whiskey.
Sporty and intuitive would be the two words to describe myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet great people from all over the world, share new experiences with new people, travel slightly cheaper and get a real understanding of wherever I go on a local level in an authentic way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Very tricky, past year I have been invited into Houses of Parliament for my work in the community, met 2 Olympic sprinters in a pub and then took them for dinner, volunteered in the refugee camp in Calais and took groups of young people hiking in the mountains teaching them about camping being outdoors.

Skinny dipped in most major waterways, proudest of which was the Grand Canal, venice.

Teach, Learn, Share

When in London, get a "Boris Bike", they're cheap, fun and gives you the best way to see the city, unless you do a boat tour...

Going up the Shard is a great view and free if you say you're going to the Oblix Lounge Bar. (I didn't tell you that)

Can help teach English and coach sport, lot's of experience in both.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good chat, the chance to be truly spontaneous and how to tie their shoe-laces; I'm quite good at that.

Not a bad chef, nobody has died eating my food yet...
