Im Olive! i'm 32 years old and i am big into Reggae! i love it! it makes me smile from inside out! i am generally smiley actually, i enjoy the sun, good food and home cooking, drawing, phyrography, nature, trees especially! and all things good and positive! i'm open minded, easy going and helpful! i'v been living in bristol for four years running a restaurant, (and before that i was a full time nanny, looking after three children in London) and i'v have decided to leave it behind for the unknown...
i definitely learn kinesthetically (learn by doing, not reading or listening) and so to learn spanish i need to be in Spain!
seeking the new...learning like a child!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a 32 year old woman who has worked very hard for the last 10 years and now, with no money to show for it, i seek a different kind of progress, a different challenge!
i want to learn spanish, really use my lazy brain! meet new people, live life full, move while i am unberdened with children or real responsibility! so that i am satisfied when i choose to settle.
Carpe diem on a budget, breathe in, have faith and believe in humans!
