About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Still working that out!

ABOUT ME

I´m generally a relaxed, happy, independent person. I love to travel. I love adapting to different places, languages and ways of life.

I´ve been living and traveling in South America for a while now and will finally (reluctantly!) head home in December. In the past year I´ve worked on apple and garlic orchards in Argentina, taught art and theatre in La Paz, Bolivia and worked as an English teacher in a indigenous village in Ecuador and a vibrant city in the interior of Bahia, Brazil. I´ve met so many amazing wonderful people, seen all kinds of places and it has been incredible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a traveller and a guide, when I'm in one place I enjoy hosting and showing people around and when I'm travelling it has been wonderful to couchsurf! I´ve met so many wonderful hosts who have helped me and welcomed me into their lives. I couldn´t imagine travelling without couchsurfing - organised or accidental.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - quality arthouse is more me than any mainstream blockbuster.
Books - I´ve enjoyed reading more books than I can ever remember or begin to list here. I love literature and anyone who can introduce me to worthwhile local works would be a friend indeed.
Music - I´m an expert in nothing but appreciative of (almost) anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Managing to naviagate public transport in La Paz is certainly up there....

Teach, Learn, Share
