About Me

I worked in IT but am now re-training as a gardener. I'm interested in organic food-growing and volunteer frequently in growing and gardening projects. I like to keep active and keep having new experiences. I like meeting people, I'm friendly and open minded.

I have three rules that I try to live by:
1. Enjoy yourself-
2. -But not at the expense of other people
3. Try to help others enjoy themselves

Je parle presque couramment le francais!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like travelling around and have previously done wwoofing volunteering on farms in France, Canada, USA and NZ. I enjoy sharing experiences and have met some amazing people and find couchsurfing to be a fun way to travel and meet people!

Interests

When I'm not travelling I'm volunteering at market gardens and local community gardens. I love growing food. I always like to get outside and do something active. I also like hiking, mountain biking, climbing and playing sports. I enjoy films and studied Sound Design for cinema. I love music and playing the guitar (and even sometimes singing!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with your English, teach you a song on the guitar or how to juggle.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We could have a jam session if you have instruments. Maybe go for a run or a hike or just chat over a beer. I can help with the cooking, cleaning, gardening or shopping.
