Hi, I'm Jenny and I live in Edinburgh but also spend quite a lot of time travelling in my work. I run my own business working with traditional artisans in Morocco, India and Turkey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I look forward to meeting other travellers, sharing my city with you and also sharing our stories of life on the road. I have been humbled by the generosity shown to me during my own travels and want to offer my home and friendship to others who maybe far away from their own family and friends.

Interests

My interests are in travel, nature, exploring the world and meeting people. I like to cook and share food and conversation. I've always had dogs and cats around so you could quite truthfully say I am an animal lover. I extremely am lucky to have 2 amazing children, they live with me part of the time and are really fun, I'm sure you'd enjoy meeting them if you come to stay.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music and the best times I have had have been at a festival in the Sahara with desert blues bands Tinariwen and Imarhan.
I always have books with me when I travel, very often travel books but wide and varied tastes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year I trekked through the Sahara desert with 2 nomads and 3 camels.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have travelled solo many times and also travel with my kids and friends so have lots of experiences to share. I also love to hear about other people's travels and places they have visited.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to meet people and learn about new places and cultures so I hope you will find me an interesting and respectful guest in your home.
