CURRENT MISSION

Explore South America, discovering different culture, new skills, opening my mind and my life.
Currently travelling with my husband Tom. He's is a carpenter and artist, who loves playing basketball and chess, as well as walking and exploring cities and the outdoors. If I send a couch request during our trip in South America it will be for both of us :)

ABOUT ME

I live in Bristol, a city I love because it has as big heart and a vibrant, creative culture. It is also in a great location to explore the surrounding countryside of Wales, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.

I love working in in the outdoor environment, teaching children about wildlife, nature, science and geography. I want to learn more about all of these things myself too! I also love cooking and sharing food with good friends, old and new. I am learning to work with wood, and love gardening too.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open and try to always look for the positives in people and situations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had people to stay in the past, when it has been possible in the places I have lived. I have found couchsurfing to be a great way to meet new people, when as a host, a guest or just meeting up in different cities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´ve slept on couches in Brussels, Tarragona, Cuenca (Spain) and Lima, and have met some lovely individuals in lots of places. I have had people on my couch in Bristol too.
