ABOUT ME

Absolutely love living in Brighton, still finding new things that I want to go and see as well as meeting fantastic people along the way.

I discovered my love of travel a while ago now and like to travel as much as possible. The best aspect of travel for me is meeting people and the experiences you gain from those meetings.

Really happy to show Brighton to anyone and host if I can

PHILOSOPHY

"Be the change you want to see in the world"

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Watching the sunset over the Taj Mahal

Swimming through 800m of grade 5 rapids in New Zealand after our boat flipped. After that the world can do anything to you and you will still stand tall.

Going to Lamu, everything about that place - watching bad 90's films in the cinema, early morning swims, taking speed boats in the dark, the donkeys, camp fires and early morning exercise....

Falling in love in Japan

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I'm a pretty good baker and can teach anyone how to make a cake, brownies are my favourite (and the easiest). I like to motivate people and help them find the potential within themselves.
