I'm an online content writer endeavouring to visit every country in the world! I love to meet people and immerse myself in the local culture as much as possible.

I've only recently started couchsurfing, but I have already decided that it's the best way to travel :) I hope I get to share new adventures with you all!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"Into each of these lives one could penetrate a little way, far enough to give oneself the illusion that one is not tethered to a single mind, but can put on briefly for a few minutes the bodies and minds of others. One could become a washer-woman, a publican, a street singer. And what greater delight and wonder can there be than to leave the straight lines of personality and deviate into the heart of the forest where live those wild beasts, our fellow men?" Virginia Woolf

Music, Movies, and Books

I love jazz, hip hop, drum and bass, soul, funk, folk, Cuban, blues, jungle, indie, reggae, classical, and even a bit of opera! Music is music.

I'm currently reading Square Haunting, which is incredibly inspirational! It's a biography about 5 amazing women who spent some of their most formative years living in the same square in London. I also read a lot of fiction; anything from Jeeves and Wooster to books by Tolkien, Penelope Lively, Daphne du Maurier, Thomas Hardy, Jane Austen, Patrick Hamilton, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saved a dog from euthanasia in South Korea, looked after her until she recovered from heartworm and then brought her back to her forever home in the UK with my family!

Teach, Learn, Share

My life has been pretty varied, so I've got a background in biomedical science, public health, international development, teaching, community development, and lots of writing work thrown in. I'm studying Korean (gradually) and I'm pretty adept at vegan cooking and cheesemaking. I have lots to share and so much more to learn!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Amazing memories and some vegan cooking thrown in!
