I just think life is pretty cool.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see the world and I don't want to see it from inside a hotel room, or from a tour-bus.
I think the best way to see a new place is by meeting the people in that place, and by putting yourself out there into the unknown, then unknown adventures ensue.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed with a hilltribe in the north of Thailand - I was 16 and part of a medical group, seeing the tribe without disclosing their whereabouts. .. I was the first western person to come to the village, by far the tallest, and unfortunately had to decline a child which was given to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

There are few thing I wouldn't like to learn!! I'm pretty useless haha but I can teach about making pretty things with string, and teach random useless sentences in many different languages.. and perhaps share with you the worlds yummiest banana bread!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm enthusiastic for anything new, and so love to travel and try new things - I'm up for anything, including a good chat, and what I may lack in knowledge in some areas, I'll make up in a desire to learn what I'm missing! I was 9 years old before I stayed in one place for longer than a couple of months, and since leaving home I have varied from 3 months to 3 years in one place.
