Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and spend time with locals in their home towns, as well as to meet travellers in mine! I think the best way to learn about the world is to open your ears and heart to people from other places.

Interests

Some random tid-bits about me:
- I'm nearly finished post-graduate study
- I'm into sustainability, green and ethical living and am trying to cultivate a green thumb and pot-plant garden.
- I love the early morn, markets, yoga, hiking and travel to new places.
Also reading a good book and drinking tea.
- My favourite place that I've been is either Syria or Wadi Rum.
- off-beat characters intrigue me & I think that people & the dynamics of their interactions are endlessly fascinating.
- not a big drinker, but I like to hang out in quirky bars and cafes. Do you know any good ones?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a cool yoga pose or some things about nutrition and herbal medicine.
Would love to learn some of your language.
Share a board game or a pot of tea?
