About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Feel the love all around the globe

Currently travelling around Aus in a van

ABOUT ME

I like to spend my spare time playing guitar, singing, making jewellery, hiking, daydreaming, reading, dancing with poi, talking for hours on end, exploring, cooking vegetarian, dumpster diving, dancing anywhere and with anyone.

I am interested in the environment and conserving it. I try to do my bit on a small scale but I would like to get involved with more projects, particularly regarding ocean conservation.

I enjoy travelling and meeting interesting people and talking about the world and everything in it. I am currently travelling in Australia. The journey this time began in India, and since then we have worked on an almond orchard, in an orange factory, renovated a van from scratch and travelled through the heart of Australia in it.

The journey in Aus is coming to an end and we shortly leave for Cuba and Colombia.

Looking to meet people along the way and share travelling stories and good times.

We are all in the same boat.

A man's happiness is inversely proportional to the size of his house.

When we cry, we cry the ocean.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer advice about where to go and what to do in Manchester, Newcastle and Brighton. I love to meet new friendly faces and share music, food, travelling experiences and good times. We spread smiles and share stories wherever we go.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some great experiences through couchsurfing! As a generalisation I prefer real life communication; talking face to face and writing letters. It feels more real. However couchsurfing is an awesome way to network :)
I have hosted at my home in Manchester but since travelling have only surfed and met up with people on the way. I will be sure to return all the lovely experiences of hospitality and friendship when I am based in one place.
