CURRENT MISSION

Living and teaching in Egypt, wandering off whenever there's a holiday! Also working hard on my travel and lifestyle blog (www.wanderlustandheart.com).

ABOUT ME

I love cultures, and travelling. I took a test one day to find out what kind of traveller I am, and apparently I am a Culture Vulture. I hope that doesn't mean I live off of dead culture...

Love reading (Jane Austen, Jojo Moyes, OR Melling, LOTR, Agatha Christie and more) and drawing. I can draw you a picture during my stay! Apparently I'm pretty good.

PHILOSOPHY

"Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none." — William Shakespeare

HUBSTER
If you want to know my other half, here is his profile: (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/wayne-mcdermott) He hasn't couchsurfed yet, and he's finally converted over to try it!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By traveling and staying with lovely couchsurfers and sharing our experiences and stories with them :) Usually there is some kind of cultural exchange that is always lovely!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's GRAND! I have couchsurfed in Ireland and Switzerland, and all the experiences were wonderful! I can't wait to do it again! I have not been able to host yet, even though I could in Egypt, since we have an extra room, but due to how things are in this country, it is impossible for me to confirm my phone or address...Maybe one day, inashala.

*** NOTE TO POTENTIAL HOSTS: I always read your profile. If I believe that you and I will get along, click and really enjoy one another's company, I will send you a request. Even though that may be hard to determine with mere words on a profile screen, I try to read between the lines and look for your 'voice'. Yes, I am an English major... While I have yet to have a 'bad' host, I do this because I love it when the host becomes part of my travel story.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This could be many things...getting married to my best friend, seeing a large stream of Northern Lights dance across my backyard is the first thing that comes to mind. It was absolutely breath-taking and I have never seen anything like it in my life. It was like the sky was alive and was dancing across the stars...Also, riding a camel in the Sinai mountains at night...stunning night sky.
