CURRENT MISSION
To ride bike from Rome to Istanbul, keep up with my boyfriend and smell the roses along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel when travelling and staying in hostels/hotels, you miss what it is really like to live in a place. The essence of a city or town is what it means to the locals. Couchsurfing gives us the chance to meet locals and learn a bit about their home suburb/city/state/country!

Interests

I endeavor to keep myself reasonably fit and healthy, enjoying the feel of having a body that works for me. I am a physiotherapist and Pilates instructor so am naturally interested in the body and helping others get the best out of theirs. My boyfriend and I have done multiple trips on our bikes, including a four month trip through south east asia, china and into kyrgyzstan in 2012 (www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/?o=1mr&doc_id=12295&v=VR) , five weeks in Iceland and another in Nepal. We have both traveled on our bikes in South America. We love this form of travel as it gets us out in the elements and among the local people.
