Overview
About Me
Recently back from a transformative experience living in Vietnam. The people, the culture, all the experiences you have, the places you see - they all shape you. Making some of the strongest connections you can ever make. This is what it is all about.
Have lived in Vietnam, Spain, Australia and the UK; hoping to keep spreading my wings.
All these travel experiences are enriched by people, so meeting new people is key.
Learning Spanish so one day can live in South America, and open to learning as much about spirituality as possible.
Spiritual growth, fun, pancakes and music (ukuele player here).
Enjoying books on Philosophy, Taoism - eg The Tao of Pooh.
Buddhism and mindfulness. Alan Watts. Albert Camus. Jack Kerouac.
The list is long.
Qualified to teach English so can gladly help you with your present perfect 😉 or just grab a beer and have a chat!
As I once read,
"You will never be completely at home again because part of your heart will be elsewhere.
This is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in
more than one place."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Looking for shared experiences, meeting new people and hopefully in the future to host people!
Wanting to connect with people whilst abroad and travelling. Wanting to help others learn English and learn languages in return.
Interested in long road trips to see this beautiful rugged world we inhabit.
Interests
Varied. Love learning about new cultures, places, very big on music and literature.
