About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am seeing the world before I have to go back to England and be a nurse for the rest of my life (which I love really). I want a little bit more now., I want to stay with local people for a conpleatly different experience.

ABOUT ME

I've got a year of work to see the world, such an amazing oppatunity. But it's slowly coming to an end now. As I make my way back to England via Asia. I've loved my time in each contry India, Nepal, Australia, New Zeland, Indonesia, Thailand and currently Mayarmar. I have stayed in many a hostel and guest house but now I want a little bit more and want to get a more authentic experience by staying in other places.
I love my job and am very passionate about mental heth issues. In my spare time I rock climb (badly now due to lack of regular practice over the past year), do yoga, go to the gym. I absolutely love meeting new people and spending time chatting and laughing with freinds. I am so lucky to have met some amazing people and can't wait to meet more.
As a side note I like dogs, cats and most pets. As long as I don't get bit!

PHILOSOPHY

I just like to be nice to people. And to help them if I can, I think that's why I love my job so much. Other than that, I like to meet people, laugh and have fun. If I can see the world and experience new things then I feel like the luckiest girl in the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I'm wanting to couch surf whilst in Asia to get tips and hints on good places to visit. And meet people other than fellow travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to this! So will expand this section later.

Interests

Music, people, rock climbing (especially bouldering), yoga, food!!!! Dining out, markets and shopping, socialising, reading. I don't watch much tv but like films. I like to read too. I like big nights out dancing, and quiet nights in bed reading and probably everything else in between.

Music, Movies, and Books

"To kill a mockingbird" is my favourite book. And "Harold and Maude" is my favourite film. As for my favourite band I'm so fickle and currently am swaying between "Belle and Sebastian" or "Joy Division". I haven't heard any modern music in a while. But deep down I prefer older music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch hiked through Kashmir, saw the Dhali Lhama, trekked in Nepal, and skydived in New Zeland, did charity work in kerela, and lived in Melbourne, took my mum round rajastan,It's been an absolutely amazing year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know English and am happy to help people develop this skill, I can cook, I know a lot about mental health nursing in particular personality disorders. I can play the piano and read music and can share this! I can be your climbing partner or yoga buddy! We can go out and see things. Ill share my stories with you. And look forward to hearing yours!
