About Me

CURRENT MISSION

pursuing missions

ABOUT ME

Lover of bicycles, travel and anything and everything about food. I'm a vegetarian, knitter and mini instrument enthusiast...

PHILOSOPHY

Variety is the spice of life, seek new experiences by delving down less trodden paths, be open to different ways of living, keep questioning without judging, learn as much as possible in the tiny time we have to appreciate this mad but wonderful world and laugh heartily!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Due to living quite a nomadic lifestyle this past year I've been hosted more than I've hosted, but I'm keen to restore the balance when I'm a bit more settled.

Interested in meeting new faces and sharing some couchsurfing tales.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in many distant lands and yet to have a negative experience. Wonderful people, wonderful places, couchsurfing is a beautiful thing!

Interests

Many oh so many things...
Bicycles and cycle touring, food (in its many forms- cooking, eating, growing, more just food systems, organic veg,) being outdoors in all seasons, wild camping, picking apples, knitting, a little bit of juggling, bit o yoga, wwoofing, kazoo playing, whittling wooden spoons, trees, foraging, permaculture dabbling, learning and sharing new skills.
