About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover new people and cultures

ABOUT ME

Hi, like many others I'm not that into speaking about myself at length, and certainly not writing about myself! I think its better if you check out my references! But in general I'm a nice easy going person, I love to laugh and I love to be around people who make me laugh! I like to be around relaxed people but love to have fun, go out and dance or whatever! I'm very indecisive and change my mind a lot but I'm up for trying most things!

PHILOSOPHY

Have fun, joke about, don't take yourself too seriously and SMILE!! I like to take things as they come, and try not to stress too much, life is short so grab opportunities when they come, ambition is great but being happy is also acknowledging what you've got.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I can, but I like to meet up with travellers and in the future surf a bit too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting, surfing ...both quite few for the moment but i'm hoping to change that on both accounts! Language exchanges, picnics, coffee with travellers!

Interests

Going out with friends, dancing, singing...(not very well!) site seeing, horse riding, the beach, just having a laugh in general!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learning how to make really good Sheep's cheese and seeing the cheese caves deep in the mountains,when I spent a month on a farm in central France. Seeing the Fallas festival in Valencia! Running into the sea after midnight at San Juan. Running with bulls or rather from them! listening to excellent music with friends at festivals! Learning new languages, that feeling of being on a train and being able to understand people from different countries speaking in different languages. Every time I discover something new or unexpected about a different culture. My favourite thought is thinking about everything else that I have left to discover!!
