About Me

I'm most content when I'm sleeping outside, in good company, with dogs, sharing delicious food!

I am from the UK, but I have moved at least every 4 years of my life thus far. I grew up in Florida, England, and Scotland. I moved to Norway in 2016 to study my masters in Climate Change Management. I now work with beach cleaning and plastic education in Western Norway. My side projects for just myself is learning about wild food and yoga. I graduated with my 200hr yoga teacher training in Vinyasa yoga + Ayurveda in 2018, and share this with others when I can. This is something that has become an integrative part of my life that I couldn't live without!

I really enjoy meeting new people and try and keep the mindset that you can learn something from everyone when you learn how to listen respectfully. I really love asking questions and hearing peoples opinions.

I like to reflect on the things that inspire and motivate me, and question if this is how I'm spending my time in praxis.

........The only negative side of travelling is I wish I was settled enough to own my own dog

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the most you'll learn in life is from opening yourself up to people and places. I love learning of other countries, cultures, and learning how others live.
