About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the US, one state at a time. But, for now, Hawaii.

ABOUT ME

I'm a dual national of the UK & US. Just moved to Hawaii from London to visit my father for the first time. Didn't work how I expected to be honest, but no matter!

In love with the ocean, I used to live on Koh Tao, Thailand for two years teaching scuba diving for PADI. The last student I taught was a few more years ago now, so I hope to re instate my licence when I can and incorporate it back into my 'costal' lifestyle!

Studying Marine Bio at HPU will hopefully be on the cards starting this fall too, I hope.

PHILOSOPHY

I wouldn't be the best at putting these words together, so I'll let some of my favorite quotations take the fall:

'I don't know where I'm going, but I promise it wont be boring' - David Bowie

'Obstacles are put in your way to see if what you want is really worth fighting for' - Unknown

'Keep calm and smerk a berl!' - Workaholics

'If you're brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello.' - Paulo Coehlo

'Do do that voodoo that you do so well' - Unknown

'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness…' Charles Dickens

'Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.' - Will Smith

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by... being Here? Duuuhhh.. :P

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never used couch surfing personally, but I have surfed with a friend of mine when she used her account in and around California a few years ago.

Interests

I'm a bit of a horticulturalist ;P , a keen diver, culture & travel, business, economics, tech! I want to get into surfing but haven't even stood up on a board. Have one without 'fins' and may be beyond repair..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

a massive school of 3,000 reef fish or more shooting past my body on both sides at what felt like 100mph! Quite. a. buzz.

Seen the outline of the Milky-Way Galaxy only a handful of times... every star in the sky, never clearer. I think that's pretty special.

Teach, Learn, Share

Err... when traveling, always make sure you have enough money to cover yourself for at least a month!
