About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live creatively with passion and adventure and to connect with lots of lovely people along the way.

ABOUT ME

I´m 40 and lived in London most of my life.

I´ve always loved travelling - i'm creative, sensitive, fun, friendly and a bit of a dreamer really. My spirituality is an important part of my life these days and later in the year i'll be taking a meditation and yoga teacher training course in the yoga of the spiritual heart. But I try to live life lightly as well as consciously and enjoy learning and discovering as much as I can on this journey through the outer world and the inward one.

That´s why I gave up my job to go travelling for a year and an half. After coming back to London for 2014 I went freelance as a writer and consultant but by that point the travel bug had well and truly bit so I hit the road again in January 2015 and have spent the first half of the year staying in conscious communities in Peru and Ecuador and am now in Portland for a short while before contemplating Hawaii!

I write about my journey - outer and inner here wanderwomen.club or check out my travel photos on instagram at @wanderwomenclub

PHILOSOPHY

Burn brightly and squeeze the juice out of life, we are only here once so make the most of every minute, try being gracious, grateful and kind along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined a few weeks before i set off to go travelling and couchsurfed and met for drinks with new CS friends in Argentina.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met some great people in Argentina through CS - trading stories of the London riots, Venezulan politics and listening to songs from the Pampas.

Interests

I love the arts, literature, reading, writing, films and theatre, eating out and travelling of course...I´m not very sporty but enrolled in Martial Arts school in Southern China where i did Shaolin kung fu with a bunch of 18 year old boys for a month for the self discipline...rock climbed up Halong Bay and completed 200 hours of yoga down in Koh Phangan.

I'm attuned to Reiki 1 and 11 and a Deekshe giver.
