Recently finished just over a year's sabbatical. During that time I volunteered at a Buddhist centre, a care farm in the south of England and a grassroots animal sanctuary in Costa Rica. I’m vegan and enjoy running, yoga, talking philosophy and learning Spanish. I always have a book on the go and I'm an avid Podcast listener. I have made so many friends and heard such great travel stories over the years, I'm grateful that I found Couchsurfing and hope to continue this way for as long as possible.

Once I've settled back in at home and at work, sometime this summer, I should be able to host again and look forward to meeting all my future guests and hosts.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

To experience as many different ways of living, cultures, personalities and philosophies as possible. So far it has been fantastic and I feel I'm growing as a person thanks to all the people I meet through Couchsurfing.
