Hi I'm Lois..

I'm a free-spirited, open minded girl who loves adventure and wholesome real connections.

I love to give back to the community.. helping people learn and to find confidence within themselves is my main mission.

I want to know about you and the many forms that life takes. I'm really driven by what makes us human - how we think, act, belong and function within communities. I love learning about different beliefs, cultures and practices and I would be honoured to learn more from you.

I love cooking, dancing (amateur freestyle dancer - challenge if me if you can haha) and helping others in the community where I am able to. I am passionate about supporting ethical travel and Grassroots organisations...

I'm a keen advocate for social justice and I have worked helping to rehabilitate young men and women who have previously been involved in crime and recruited into gangs in Manchester.

I have also worked and volunteered at Boarding Schools in Uganda and South Asia helping children to read and understand English, gain vocational skills, encouraging positive psychology and gaining skills through creative play. Therefore, if you have children or like humanitarian work... lets chat and share our passion for life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn and continue to expand my awareness of you, what you do and what's important to you. I also love learning and understanding different cultures, beliefs and societies. Making real memories and friendships.

I believe this makes us better human beings who are more inclusive and kinder to each other.

Mi casa tu casa. My house is your house (whenever I am able to).

I also want to connect, help others experience safety and share inclusive moments. I welcome the sharing of laughter, cooking, conversation and freestyle dance (dance is the inclusive language of the world, there's also no such thing of not being able to dance when it's freestyle).

... lets meet and remind ourselves what it means to be human through connection without technology.
