About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet wonderful people from all over the world, and be able to travel without paying for hotels I don't want to stay in.

ABOUT ME

I am 32, I live in Brighton, UK, about an hour from London. I have a 5year old boy called Jack who is great fun. I run my own business from home doing treatments and therapies. I live my partner, David. I'm a lively, outgoing and sociable person and enjoy being in company.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that if you look hard enough, you can find a way. Think laterally and open your mind a bit. I believe we get what we put out. I also believe that many of lifes challenges are thrown at us because we can deal with them. They only make you stronger. Life is about learning and experience. Make the most of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just joined but I hope to start couch surfing a lot more, I went to Marakech in May and had a really positive experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been couchsurfing in Morrocco for a few days.

Interests

I love dancing and playing the guitar when I get the chance. I'm learning the Ukulele too. I really enjoy cooking and love to cook for friends and talk long into the night. People interest me the most, how people interact and the relationships they build.

Music, Movies, and Books

To be honest, I haven't had the chance to read any books for months. I have been too busy setting up a business. If I do read I will choose something I can relate to, nothing like Terry Pratchit or anything, I do like authors like Paolo Cohelo though. I like to read about facts, medical dictionaries actually! Travel books are good too. Music is a different story altogether, I always have music on. From Radiohead to Stan Getz, Royksop to Nouvelle Vague, Mr Scruff, Nick Drake, Nina Simone, Massive Attack, Kitty Daisy and Lewis, Hendrix, Gotan Project, David Grey, Damian Rice, Beuna Vista Social Club to name just a few! I don't watch too many films, I prefer to socialise and chat with people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving in Jordan? abseiling down the Grand Hotel in Brighton? Oh, actually THE most amazing thing I have ever done was giving birth, now that was an experience.
