It's sad that I have to write this at all, but here goes....I have a boyfriend and couch surfing is not a dating/hookup site. If your after that then please don't message me.

Anyway.... my name is Jamie, my friends sometimes refer to me the energizer bunny. When I am travelling I get so excited I just want to see everything and seem to have boundless energy to do this

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After 21 years of working for a big corporate company, I was made redundant. Ever the eternal optomist, I looked for the silver lining. I took this as a sign to take a new path and to do what I love doing most, travel and explore new cultures. I have always tried to get a month away every few years at work, but now the time has finally come for me to take a gap year or two.

Interests

Always happiest when I'm somewhere new, meeting new people and seeing new sights. I love learning about new cultures and seeing the real country!

• culture
• music
• hiking
• new experiences
• making friends
• travelling around the world

Music, Movies, and Books

Any thing dancey, alot of my friends like trance or dnb so you will often find me at a festival. My guilty pleasure is modern country music 🤫

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are so many, its hard to choose! I have visited so many beautiful countries. Swimming with whale sharks in the Philippines has to be up there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been helping people learn English. I would love help learning Arabic, French or even Spanish although I am a complete novice.

Since travelling, when people ask if you could have one superpower, what would you have? My answer would now be to understand and speak any language. I manage pretty well on Google translate, basic words, hand gestures and smile at the moment

What I Can Share with Hosts

I also use work away. On there I have been helping hosts learn english, pet sitting, helping around the house, help with children and working in hostels
