Travelling
My next destination:
Costa Rica - from Nov 2025 until Nov 2025 View all
Description
I’m passionate about fitness (I’m a Pilates instructor but also enjoy the gym) , gardening, art, reading, making things.
In the UK I have an allotment where I grow a wide range of vegetables and fruit.
I’m travelling far and wide in 2025 and hoping to volunteer in many of the countries I’m visiting. I’ll be travelling across Central Asia first, (Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Mongolia) from March-June, then Vietnam (maybe India, maybe Korea), then, from September 2025, Central America (Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica…).
I’m a dual citizen of UK and New Zealand.

What else ...
I love learning, especially about people and other cultures, anything gardening /nature/outdoors related, or science, or fitness, or food….
I’ve travelled all my life (Dad was in the army) and since becoming an adult, have lived and worked in NZ, Australia, Hong Kong, and the UK. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve ’been around the world’ — with family spread far and wide, it’s been necessary. And fun.
Later in 2025 I’ll be doing a Spanish immersion course in Guatemala or Nicaragua, but until then, I only speak English.
The top item on my wish list has long been to learn adobe building, so I’d love to be able to help people building adobe, so I can learn .
I cook a great sourdough loaf, and I love cooking for friends, I also enjoy time on my own, reading, writing, thinking.
