CURRENT MISSION

To play the guitar! And to learn to become a potter. To try and avoid getting itchy feet for awhile and stay put!

ABOUT ME

I'd say I'm a very lucky person to have grown up into a lifestyle that's allowed me to be free to explore and take up opportunities, in general- I'm very grateful for that!

I come from a fairly multi-national background and have most recently been living in my native Scotland, but my homebase is still France.

I've been working as a doctor for 4 years now, interrupted by a year-long trip from London to Cape Town by bicycle. And I've just embarked on a career in Psychiatry, which I am really enjoying!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have been hosted on a couple of occasions. Have met a whole range of couchsurfers through friends... Impressed by the concept and have met some really nice people!

Interests

Feeling alive: running on the beach and jumping in the sea does that, getting lost in dancing also does, as well as: listening to good music, eating good food (especially on a terrace on a warm summer evening), drinking good wine (ditto), enjoying a good mountain bike trail, catching a good wave, finding fluidity in a conversation, having a good argument!
