About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently learniing to sail.....through life.

ABOUT ME

From stilletos to sandals in no time; happiest when I can smell the scent of a new country. Very adaptable and keen to experience new things and meet and get to know new people. I was born in London but grew up in both London and Barcelona and Paris. I have two boys aged 10 and 12 whom I adore, and I am a personal trainer; I'm not obsessed with health and fitness though, health is a state of mind. Also currently trying my hand at crating an online community for a new service provision vehicle (a website basically!)

PHILOSOPHY

'Like attracts like', so be positive, happy, productive and genuine and you will have plenty!

They say that travel expands the mind, but you do need a mind otherwise it only expands the waist line!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer my space and time to anyone who is passing through London and show them all the things that I think make London special.
Tea and biscuits included!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great experiences; various people have surfed my couch and this has been a lovely enriching experience me and my two boys. Also couchsurfed in Pisa with a host who took me in at the last minute and was very accommodating showing me his side of Pisa. Thankyou Couchsurfing!!

Interests

The simple everyday process of life in it's most natural form... People, their cultures, nature, swimming for miles and miles in the sea, sailing, yoga, alternative medicine, health and fitness, camping, learnng new things, eating good food, dancing, social awareness, sunsets, great parties, the list is endless, but these are just a few things that spring to mind...

  • dancing
  • dining
  • fitness
  • yoga
  • partying
  • gardening
  • traveling
  • camping
  • sailing
  • swimming
  • medicine
  • mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

SOOOOOO many, the mind boggles, I'll get back to you on this when we meet up!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a mother and having the privilege of bringing two wonderful people into this world!

Becoming self aware and learning not to take irrelevant and inevitable things so seriously and finally (!) understanding/valuing and respecting what truly matters to me....

Travelling and camping across 7 states in America from Chicago to Yellowstone mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all I know about health and fitness. I used to teach English, and if you want I can teach you some Spanish.
If you can help me to learn how to sail, how to do some gardening, or any form of dancing that would be great, oh I find spirituality, meditating etc very interesting too. I'm sure there are many other things that I can learn so if you're willing, bring it on!!
Happy to share anything I have, material or otherwise...
