Overview
About Me
I'm a physiotherapist for the National Health Service in the UK, currently specialising in neurological rehabilitation.
Previously, I worked in film and television as a producer and assistant director, but left the industry to find a role more suited to my empathetic and caring traits, as well as a better work life balance.
I'm currently travelling solo around South America and looking to meet amazing people!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet amazing people and share beautiful experiences!
Interests
I live an active lifestyle and love to move, so anything sporty or adventurous peaks my interest!
Also love deep diving chats from politics to emotions, social sciences to philosophy, skimming the shallow end with jokes, puns and silliness along the way!
I'm outgoing, eager to learn new skills and always looking to self develop and learn from others.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can use my skills as a Physiotherapist to give any advice on health, fitness, exercise or any aches and pains you may have. Sporting injuries isn't my specific speciality, but I have some experience and can at least provide some basic advice.
I love to make type writer written passages of people favourite movie scenes or song lyrics. Unfortunately, I'm not travelling with my typewriter, but would definitely post it afterwards!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Fun, spontaneity and a openess to new and exciting experiences! I'm very interested in sports and adventure, so if you need a running buddy, workout partner or hiking pal, I'm your person!
I'm clean and tidy, and would me more than happy to help with any jobs or projects, particularly DIY, that you may have. I also enjoy cooking and hosting.
I'm currently learning how to DJ, so would love to jam, or provide the entertainment for any parties!
