CURRENT MISSION

to smile at life

ABOUT ME

I work for the NHS and I am studying nutrition. I enjoy dancing (particularly contact improvisation and Bharatanatyam which is classical Indian Dance, at the moment), travelling, day trips out to museums and galleries, meditating, yoga, walks in nature

In my twenties I did a lot more travelling, living in China and New York for a year and making trips to North Africa, South America, SE Asia. I went to Berlin last year.

PHILOSOPHY

I am interested in vipassana (insight) meditation. I have found it a very helpful tool in life to work through layers of experence and understanding - finding peacefulness and solutions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just started out with CS and I'm currently learning how it works. Previously I have lived in communities where we hosted various travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to CS but lived in two communities where people's friends or acquaintances would come and stay. It was lovely, sharing food, ideas, recipes, city enthusiasm, etc.
