ABOUT ME
After working in public relations for a couple of years I decided it was time to see the world. My first stop was Washington State in the US where I worked at a Girl Scouts summer camp for 3 months. Before leaving the US I travelled the West Coast of the US for a month. I then spent a year in Canada working in a ski town. After my year was up I traveled across Canada and down the east cost of the US. I then headed off to London to work for a couple of years, spending my weekends and holidays travelling Europe. Once my visa expired I was offered a position in Abu Dhabi, an opportunity too good to turn down!
PHILOSOPHY
Life needs to full of great food, wine, experiences and people.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I would love to meet new people in Abu Dhabi as well as in other countries I travel too. Unfortunately I am not in the position to host in Abu Dhabi.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have met some amazing people through couch surfing all over the world and I believe some of these people will become life long friends!
Interests
I love the outdoors; tennis, running, kayaking, cycling etc. I also love to dance (whether in dance classes or on the dance floor!). I also have a blog where I talk about my experiences eating gluten free. Generally I just love hanging out with friends and meeting new people.
