I discovered my love for travelling in 2014 and since then I take every opportunity to see new places, meet new people, try to speak the language and experience new things. I quit my job in January and have been living in the Dolomite mountains in Italy for 6 weeks to learn the language and be close to the beautiful mountains which has been an incredible experience. But I will be leaving soon in search for work to follow my heart and live abroad....somewhere I can learn a new language and meet more incredible people!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

One of the greatest joys of travelling is the people you meet and getting to know the life of a local...couchsurfing is perfect for this!

Intereses

Being outside in nature, exploring new places and challenging myself is what I love to do. I love to be around people and get to know their motivations in life - it's amazing to meet such interesting people around the world who are so inspiring! Cooking with friends is the best - because I'm eating AND socialising...what could be better! Oh, and maybe with some cool tunes on too. I really enjoy listening to music and love being introduced to new artists!

Sport makes me happy! For all of the above reasons (and you can eat more!)
I completed my first half iron man in Austria in Aug 2016 which was a real highlight of my year. I also have loved attempting to cycle on a vintage bike in the "Eroica" in Italy for 200k... with punctured tyres and taking the wrong route...but that's what I love - it's all part of the experience and adventure right?!

I'm up for trying almost anything :)

• triathlon
• music
• cycling
• hiking
• sailing

• trail running
• travel

• via ferrata

• swim
• healthy cooking

Música, películas y libros

I'm not very good at making time to read, but I did love Shantaram (it may have taken me 1 year to read, but shhh - lets not talk about that!)
Many types of music from classical, jazz, house...try me :)
Movies - 007 is always a great film. I'm a guilty lover of The Holiday too and Pirates of the Caribbean with Mr Depp.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Climbed Huayana Potosi near La Paz in Bolivia...6000m high and I made it :)
Lived in the jungle with just a guide and nothing else for 4 days - we survived on bamboo water and fish that we caught. We made a shelter from leaves. I'll never forget this experience.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I teach flute and piano and love doing this.
I meet up with language exchange people to share language skills with each other.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

If I have a recipe book, I can be a good cook :) if you dare try...! But otherwise, I love to share my experiences with others.
