I'm a high energy, down to earth person with a great sense of humour. I love learning, studied for years, currently working on a PhD in Philosophy in Education. I would love time to study nano-science and computer coding, and to fly a plane.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet local people while on holiday with my now grown up son. He's also really sociable, down to earth, musical and talented in many ways.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music tastes change depending on my mood - everything from classical bach to blues, roots, rock and folk.
Favourite movies which peak my interest will leave me with unanswered questions.
One of my favourite books was a fantasy series spanning across life times through time and space.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raising two amazing sons on my own - they're the coolest, very different from each other, generous, very funny, caring, smart, musical and talented guys.

Others would say, towing them around behind me on the bike for years. Some would say, riding to the top of mountains on my mountain-bike while heavily pregnant . Or free climbing around rock faces, or racing around on my motorcycle.
