CURRENT MISSION

To balance work and leisure

ABOUT ME

I'm a typical primary teacher, love kids, love England. Probably need to listen more and talk less. I used to live and host in London until September 2010 when I moved to Bristol for love! I still feel like a tourist discovering this fantastic city and love wandering around and discovering it both on foot and by bike.
I am currently in the middle of decorating my flat with my partner, attempting to build a new bed (don't worry, you won't have to sleep on it) and sort out the garden. So if you have skills in any of these areas, come on round!

PHILOSOPHY

Do to others as you would be done by. - see a victorian novel called Tom and the Water Babies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd just like to pay a bit of kindness forward so I'm participating as a host for the time being. However, I hope to surf when school holidays next come round.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted some lovely French students and a couple of other travellers passing through. So far I haven't had the opportunity to surf myself, although I'd like too.

Interests

Outdoors, attempting to grow vegetables, music, reading books recommended by other people, food and Zumba. I'm hoping to do a beginners course in car maintenance in September as I am fed up with looking clueless every time I visit a garage.

Music, Movies, and Books

Shantaram, made me really want to visit India. I love the film Dancer in the Dark, although it makes me cry. I just finished reading a huge historial novel from the 70s called Sarum all about the history of the South West and Salisbury.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once flew over South Australia into Queenland in a tiny mail plane, dropping off letters and parcels to all the stations in the middle of no-where, that was pretty cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach all day, so I guess I'm keen to learn from other couch surfers. I want to be a more practical person so I'd like to meet people who can teach me practical skills.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Fiji, France, Kenya, Morocco, New Zealand, Spain, United States
