CURRENT MISSION

My first real trip cycling trip, and hopefully one on many more to come. NZ here I come.....

ABOUT ME

Well I’m not very good at describing myself… I suppose I’m strong willed, determined, perhaps a little fanatical at times. Extremely hard working, but in the later years have forgotten to balance that out. I’m caring, empathic and good listener. Anyone who enters my life will always make an impact on me; I will always learn something new or even understand myself a little more. Life is life and I am looking forward to living it a bit more.

PHILOSOPHY

Life has a lot to teach you and the opportunity you get to be more involved in it, the people you meet and the experiences you take away from that become part of you. Help you grow, make your stronger and open your eyes to life’s possibilities…

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I never knew this sort of thing existed, I think it is a wonderful opportunity to meet people when you wouldn’t necessarily know anyone when you are travelling the world. I think you have to opportunity to experience a lot more than if you are there on your own. You get to see a different side to a place. Not something that I would normally consider being a part of (I wouldn’t consider myself the most out going of characters). But sometimes you think that you should try a few more things, step out of your own comfort zone. I’m not quite sure how it all works, and probably leaving my run to experience this a little late when I’m leaving for New Zealand on 29th of March, but perhaps the next trip??

Interests

I’m interested in anything and everything. If I can get to understand something more I am always happy. I love being active – I cycle, weight train, run, swim and do group exercises. Walking is something I have always found to be invaluable in my life. I’m very lucky that I am fit and healthy and enjoy everything so much. I enjoy the outdoors, wildlife and nature. There are some things we can never fully understand. I like sports, every sport’s person unique to their discipline. Perhaps the opportunity to perform at their best or the creative skill needed to create something is what I love about it all.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am reasonably flexible when it comes to these different types of stimulus. I will usually go with the flow or what ever happens to be around. A bit of everything is what will keep me happy. I’m hoping travelling will give me the opportunity to pick up a good book and not feel guilty for making time to just read.
