CURRENT MISSION

Travel. Learn. See. Do. Enjoy!

ABOUT ME

I've lived all over the world (leaving the UK for Thailand at two months of age) with spells in Dubai, Hong Kong, PR China, UK and Egypt. I worked seasons in Japan and Switzerland in 2015/16, and have been in Brighton (England) since!

PHILOSOPHY

Get involved, be nice, make the most of life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll try anything once, and if it's good I'll do it again!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have "surfed" in the U.K., the Gambia, Germany, Croatia and Montenegro so far...

Interests

Travel, food and drink, music, dance (yes, really!), sports, more or less anything new to me...

• dancing
• cooking
• running
• music
• cycling
• camping
• surfing
• skiing
• languages
• travel
• food

Music, Movies, and Books

There's a song for every occasion. When it's party time, a good beat is all I need (ska, dabke, dancehall, funk...) but I'll listen to anything from folk/traditional music to rock and heavy metal.

Shout out for Disney - top 3 would have to be Tarzan, Pocahontas and Bambi.

Bit of a bookworm as well - I'm always open to new recommendations for historical fiction novels, and any literature that will broaden my mental horizons is welcome too. My favourite authors include Khaled Hosseini, Conn Iggulden, Lian Hearn and Amitav Ghosh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can't pick out one thing in particular - so here's a few:

- I hitch-hiked from the UK to Morocco with a friend in under a week

- Helped an alpaca give birth

- Finished my first full marathon in April 2019

- Walked 100km in less than one day to raise money for Alzheimer's Society research (my feet still hate me!)

Come and visit if you want to hear more...

Teach, Learn, Share

Anyone with a new, exciting point of view. I enjoy challenging my ideas and those of others, while being exposed to new ones which help shape my own thoughts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a pretty decent cook, so anyone who hosts me will be treated to a nice meal! And I will talk as much or as little as you want...
