ABOUT ME

I would sleep on any floor. I love to couch surf to meet locals & share stories.

Above all I really enjoy learning about different cultures, languages & environments.
I am fascinated with food.
The colours, the smells, the textures.
Painting with food.
I'm vegetarian.

Self studying Ayurveda & Naturopathy.

My favourite thing to do is to meet a group of people and all cook together. Their is something really special about it.

I'm paler than pale.

PHILOSOPHY

I love life & love living & experiencing everything.
I love spontaneity and adventure.
I want to learn as many languages as possible, but find it hard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had quite a few... All a great story.

Pondicherry my favourite so far.

Messaged a guy on couchsurfing but had moved & hadn't updated his profile so he gave us his friends number. We arranged to meet in a 24 hour cafe on the sea front 'Le cafe' & after 3 hours of watching the sun rise, green tea after green tea, crossiant's & idli, we met Udai. Amazing guy. He'd had a roof top party the night before & quite rightedly couldn't crawl out of bed at 7am haha. Such a travelled guy & lots of stories to tell. He recommended us amazing places to eat & treated us to wine, as if it wasn't enough that we were staying with him for free. The comfiest sofa bed I've ever slept on, a hot shower, wifi oooo everything a traveller wants. Udai thank you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

More recently In Hampi in India, after climbing a huge amount of boulders & sitting a mile high on top with a view I can't even describe, something out of the flintstones, temples, paddy fields, mountains of boulders & lakes swimming in between with birds floating on by completely the scene. watching the sunset, whilst a huge group of random people all jammed together mingling in all different kinds of instruments & smiling for ear to ear.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, cook with you & teach you some interesting recipes I've made myself and from others i have met. I can sew something for you, we can paint together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my love of food & nutritional health, I'm very interested in Ayurveda, the subtle body and energies. I can cook, teach English, tell stories of travels, sew, paint, I can't play an instrument yet, maybe the triangle, I would really like to play the piano, my girlfriend can play the drums and guitar and pretty much anything actually come to think of it.
