About Me

I am 32 years old from Manchester, England and I am currently starting a new adventure in Australia. I am new to the whole couch surfing idea but have heard a lot of people who love it. I have housesat for many people though. I am not the most outspoken in a group and can be a bit of an introvert unless you get one of the topics I am passionate about and for me that is health, fitness and wellbeing. I love most sports and keeping active and getting outdoors. If you like any of that, Im sure we will get on.

Im not the type who goes out drinking every night and probably past that stage of my life, more looking to experience the world (and remember it)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience the world. I started my travelling a little later in life than some and quit my successful job as a Sales Manager in the UK to go on an adventure before I got stuck in the corporate ladder for the next ten years.

Interests

I enjoy trying and taking part in pretty much any sports. I tend to find I can give most things a good go. I am also currently working on www.jointhemotion.com which is my site aiming at promoting a healthy lifestyle by all. Not just health and fitness but all aspects of life that can help people to achieve more and become the best example of themselves they can be.

I have recently started running a lot more again and running for charity at the minute called Papyrus who are the UK's national charity to provent suicide among young people. I am currently completing the JoinTheMotion challenge of 100 x 5k runs. (On run number 40 as I type this)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most self development books and have been doing more reading since I attempted to give TV the boot out of my life. I love watching films but found myself watching far too much on Netflix so trying to pick up a book instead. I have such a variety in music that I enjoy and really does depend what mood I am in that day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As it is the most life changing thing for me, it was to take the step at 31 years old to quit my job in a career I had been in for 7 years. This took a lot for me to consider but just had to be done to allow me achieve more from life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about health, fitness, wellbeing and like to share what I can with the world. I love to see people achieving results and believe we could all help each other along more on this journey that is life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a very polite, respectful and caring individual, bit of a neat freak and you may barely notice I was in your place. However, I also want to learn what I can from people of the world, this is my journey, I want to hear yours.
