About Me

I am friendly, easy going and my favourite things are travelling, meeting new people, making new friends, good food, art, music, dancing and animals. I am sociable, tidy and courteous. Don't mind a few wines and a chat, also happy keeping to myself and watching Netflix 😊 I am an artist -usual mediums: oil paint, pencil & charcoal. I like to draw while I travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked out of my job in February 2016 and started to travel the world.

I used to break and train horses, shoed my own horses, competed as an equestrian eventer and worked as an Equine vet nurse.

I went back to school about 5 years ago to switch careers and became a construction industry project coordinator/manager. I was the only female on the construction team on $70mil+ commercial builds.

I used to dance and can still do the splits 😊

I trained and competed in a quarter marathon in Feb 2016 and came second in my division.

I did a flying fox vertical drop off a mountain in New Zealand that reached top speeds of 160kp/h (or 100mp/h) before swinging out over a canyon.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH:
Can help with English language if you're studying it, have knowledge on anything horse related, art, travel, burning man festival culture, music, natural remedies and healthy eating. Am also pretty good at helping with essays.

LEARN:
I am learning Spanish, just did a few weeks of Spanish school in Nicaragua, very keen to learn more. I also want to learn to play the guitar, my last host taught me a little and I loved it.

SHARE:
I like cooking and sharing healthy meals, always down to share music & drinks, I also love jogging if anyone's keen to get fit or join me :)

What I Can Share with Hosts
