I love meeting new people and connecting with new places. By meeting local people I don't just feel like a passing tourist, but far more involved in local culture. At the moment hosting is a little difficult but in the years to come I hope to return the kindness I have been shown by my hosts to fellow surfers!

A bit of everything and always willing to be shown something new! With books, I would definitely recommend the Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood as well as many books by Paulo Coelho :)
