About Me

PLEASE READ- I will not accept any surfers that have not been verified. Safety first folks.

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world through the eyes of the local people...

ABOUT ME

My backpack and care free travelling has come to a pause since the arrival of my beautiful children. Now, I like to take in travellers so I still feel a little connected to the travelling community. I hope to travel again but may need to wait until my little ones are a little older.

I am a vegan, although my family are all omnivores.

I am always on the search for new experiences and knowledge and am keen to try new things.

PHILOSOPHY

Karma - Be good and good things happen...
Be not so good and not so good things happen...

Carpe Diem!!!!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE

As mentioned above I mainly host now, this helps me feel connected to open minded travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had one emergency Couchsurfing experience. I was heading to do volunteer work in Honduras when the airport was closed due to the Military. So I was stranded in Miami. Luckily a nice couchsurfing couple took me in and saved me from a cold airport floor for 4 nights - Thanks Jeremy and Tohnya. I have hosted numerous folks since and had the pleasure of surfing a few more sofas too.
