About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To smile at someone new every day!

ABOUT ME

As we all are I'm many things! I love to have a crazy night sometimes and others curl up with a good film! I'm now a homeowner so perhaps getting a little more boring! I love to travel and volunteer overseas and now have many friends around the world! I am settled in London now. I work a lot as I love my job and it involves evening and weekend meetings, so my hosting opportunities are quite rare I'm afraid.

PHILOSOPHY

Change what you can change and accept what you can't!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm lucky enough to have had many amazing experiences, however right now my mind is blank!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I can bore you death about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, after 10 years study, research and volunteering!

I learnt Arabic to level 4 and have taught myself basic Hebrew and seem to find myself teaching people that its easy to learn a different alphabet (more than teaching them the alphabet!).
