About Me

I just can't stop travelling. The older I get an the itchier those feet get for pastures new. I spent 2019 on the road travelling across South America, then headed to Southeast Asia, landing back in blighty just before the pandemic struck.

I've had a camera in my hand since I can remember, and after being stricken in hotel in Bolivia with altitude sickness and time to consider life a few years ago, I decided to make photography my career, and I've loved every minute of it ever since!

I've met some amazing people across the world and I intend to meet a whole lot more when this pandemic goes away. I'm currently looking into freighter travel as I really hate flying, which may sound strange when you see all the places I've been. Fortunately I love the ocean.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to meet new people from different backgrounds, places and cultures.

Interests

I got my love of travelling from summer trips to France with my parents, and there's been cameras around me always. Food is always high on my list of things to check out in new places, currently trying to see how long I can last as a vegetarian! I've had a few salsa lessons but do wonder if I just have two left feet. I love making new friends and sharing experiences, even being stranded in the Bolivian desert by a dodgy jeep driver was fun!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn guitar properly! I'm slowly learning Spanish, being British I'm the worst at learning languages. I can teach photography, English and I have a background in IT before I walked away from the office life.
