About Me

I decided after 9 years of Town Planning that it really wasn't the career for me so I handed my notice in, booked a one way ticket out of the UK and here I am (where ever that might be).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because people keep telling me funny/awesone/ridiculous stories about their couchsurfing experiences so now I want a go!

Interests

I'm not very good at sitting still so hiking, climbing, cycling, horse riding etc etc, anything outside in the sunshine...... or the rain, wind, or snow (well i am from the UK). Travelling gives me the chance to do the things I don't get to do at home such as scuba diving, kayaking and canyoning which is fantastic. I dance modern jive and smooth blues (or try to) but I'm dying to learn Argentine tango and salsa next. I can't cook but I love food, especially cake.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all sorts of music really. Live bands and music festivals are good fun. My favourite music to dance to is blues music.

Just read 'the 100 year old man who climbed out of a window and disappeared', I definitely recommend it. I like autobiographies, physocogical thrillers and travel books but i'll read anything that's recommended by my friends.

I hate chick flicks with daft women.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once spent 2 months tracking orangutans and gibbons in Indonesia. I lived in a hut in the forest and ate an awful lot of rice.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love being in the outdoors so i'm good company for the adventurous types. I can map read too which is always useful on a hike or sightseeing . I'd love to meet people who can introduce me to sports I haven't tried yet like kite surfing or wake boarding. I recently got into pilates too so if you want to practice that for an hour or so together that would great.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm nice and smiley and I clean up after myself, promise. I love hanging out, chatting and eating good food so hope to be good company.
