About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Building a beautiful new school in Nepal! Its a free school for orphans and poor children, most of the funding was raised by my lovely family.

ABOUT ME

God this is hard. Ok I am now 23 years old. I'm from London but have moved around a lot. I worked as a circus performer for two years in and around the UK - so I've got a big interest in all things Circussy, did some work for the BBC and Chelsea football club :)
I graduated from uni and now am currently on a mission to build a free school for orphans and poor children in Nepal and get it running well (most of the funding was raised by my lovely family). Am accompanied on the project by one of my longest and best friends Harry Ballinger.
I love meeting new people and travelling around.

PHILOSOPHY

The universe is so incredibly large and our chances of working out what it actually means is so incredibly small that we should probably not worry about it too much and just try and be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting - at the moment trying to set up a volunteer project for the school, getting people to come out and help with the construction and or teaching.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ah so many, last night i met a cool girl from New Zealand.
At the end of the night me and my friend were about to say our goodbyes and start walking home for and hour or more, and she took us back to her hotel room and snuck us in and gave us a place to stay for the night!
Happy days, there are great people in the world everywhere so every experience is intersting. In our last house there were about ten part / full time couch surfers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many - I could be here for days.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ok i once performed in front of 35000 people for a fire works night near Newcastle. We were on a dock and as we were spinning fire they were lighting fireworks off boats, i think they spent half a million pounds or so on the fireworks so it was pretty crazy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught circus skills for several years so can definitely help with that one.
I'm also an English teacher.
I'd love to learn anything really - What have you got?
