ABOUT ME

I am a qualified English teacher with a lust to see every part of the world...so I am travelling all over the world teaching English, experiencing all the world has to offer until I get bored and decide to settle down ... if that ever happens!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only ever couchsurfed once on the back of a friend in Mumbai...it was a fantastic way to get a native's view of the culture. Here's to many more zany experiences!

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently the question of religion is something i'm delving into as life has decided to throw me a wonderful new friend who comes in a devoutly protestant shape...who doesn't enjoy a good, old fashioned debate!? Our different views are what make this world an interesting place, we just need to be open and respectful of each other :D The bible, Koran and Dawkings are the top three books on my kindle atm.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow. What a question. Hmmm...arriving into Goa at 4am and going for a swim in the warm Indian Ocean...Moped around Tea Plantations in Munar and stumbing accross wild elephants...Partying on th 757th floor on a skyscraper in Montreal...Rock climbing and swinging off a cliff over the sea in Sardinia...My mind is full but there's space for more!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: By profession and nature, I am a teacher! Nothing gives more more pleasure on this planet than seeing someone learn and do something new! Even if I have only recently acquired a skill, I am eager to pass it on and share my knowledge. Hmm...specifically? I can teach you how to pack any given suitcase/backpack in the most efficient way and I always hit the weight limit bang on target innately :P I've also taught a few people how to swim which i'm proud of!

Learn : I am up for learning anything and everything on this planet and my most used phrase is get involved. I say yes to everything and am hoping to meet like minded people in this respect! Currently learning how to slackline at summer school here in the UK and am developing a worrying addiction to squash!

Share: Learning a completely new thing together is a great experience.
