I'm Ruth, I live in the North of England. I love to explore, I love the outdoors, I get lost all the time. Just got back home after being away for 10 months, majority of it spent in NZ. I'm itching to get away again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So I can meet others, travel on a budget and have a laugh, basically.

Interests

I like to stay fit, lots of exercise which is mostly running, yoga or cycling. I try to stay healthy but cocktails and wine are my weakness. I have a new found love for hiking and camping too, basically anything outdoors.

Music, Movies, and Books

The last song I listened to (according to my spotify playlist) Frankie Sinatra- The Avalanches. The last movie I watched (according to my Netflix account) is Sharknado 2 (I'm more of a TV series kind of person, although sharknado is a masterpiece) and the last book I read was The Psychopath Test - Jon Ronson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran a marathon in Edinburgh last year, considering I was a pack a day smoker who couldn't run more than 2 miles a year prior to that, I consider it a massive achievement of mine. Also hiking two of the Nz great walks back to back over the space of 10 days was pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

If I can atleast be on the right track and begin to learn another language I'd be quite happy. I'd also like to teach English if I stop procrastinating and get my TEFL qualification.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been told I cook a great full English breakfast.
