CURRENT MISSION

To live a life of low environmental impact whilst having maximum (positive) impact on the people, creatures and things around me :)

PHILOSOPHY

1. Always give someone the benefit of the doubt, if there is any doubt.

2. If all you can say is something unkind, sometimes that says more about you than those around you.

3. If you can't change something, then don't worry about it;
if you can change something, then don't worry about it.

4. Don't judge a person til you've walked a mile in their shoes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to meet up with couchsurfers in whichever city I am living to give them travel tips etc. and host when I can, when housemates aren't against it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with an amazing couchsurfer in the Mongolian ger district, have met people at couchsurfing meetups in several cities and have given advice, maps, coffee and nonsense conversation to those people just passing through my city :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped set up an international school in Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia with 9 other UK graduates.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to maintain my German and Russian as well as learn some French.

Always glad to exchange ideas on various topics :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Also would be delighted to cook some tasty vegan food for you :)
