About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and meet new people.

ABOUT ME

I love anything outdoors! I'm a sociable character who enjoys meeting new people and visiting new places.

PHILOSOPHY

The most valuable asset in life is time. I think it's a shame that so many only realise this when it's too late. I also believe that the people with the least, give the most.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking forward to meeting new people through CS. On the occasion that I'm home, I would love to host so please get in touch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a bit of a newcomer here but have only heard incredible things about CS.

Interests

I love spending time in the outdoors - climbing, cycling, trekking, camping and canoeing. I have spent the last few years working as an outdoor instructor and expedition leader, working in the UK and all over the world. Since graduating from university in 2003 I have travelled independently too and love nothing more than to be on the road! I am also a trained teacher, enjoy watching rugby and playing the guitar.
