Overview
About Me
I love dogs and people (though not necessarily in that order!), I love the sea and just being outdoors. Happiest when on the go. I'm an occupational therapist and so I stand by everything my profession promotes, particularly human centredness. My career has also taught me to value my own health and independence hugely travel is one of the things I do to make the most of it! I've studied in and travelled Canada, parts of America, Australia, New Zealand and I've been to numerous countries in Europe.
PHILOSOPHY
I fully believe that with hard work and dedicated exploration we can shape our own lives as we want them to be. Capability is what I strive for.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have met some AMAZING people through couch-surfing across Canada and Australia. Shout out to all you incredible individuals. It really is the best way to 'see' anywhere that you visit - to let a local safe it with you is the most meaningful way to travel and improves that experience so much.
Being a perpetual student means I'm currently don't own my own home to open to couch surfers. But as soon as I do I'm intending to return the favour.
