CURRENT MISSION

To explore, to learn and to enjoy

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly teacher looking for a friendly couch! I enjoy meeting people, learning about new places and different ways of living

PHILOSOPHY

I think happiness is a good thing to pursue, to pay homage to the opportunites and the pleasures and intrigues of the world available to us by enjoying them!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking for couches at the moment and hope to offer mine (once I've moved from lodging) in addition to being happy to meet any travellers to Oxford

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef- just being able to breathe underwater is an incredible sensation.. coupled with floating over coral with fish and stingrays and friends.. magical.

Plus, today, I saw a boy write his first ever word in my class.. felt very special to be at the start of his writing career!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a teacher by profession.. but most of you will have had that education I guess, but if anyone wants to brush up on how to play in the sandpit, learn to read and write.. actually I've taught English, so ..I could be of assistance there..
