About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live as if it's my last day :-D

ABOUT ME

I am laughing more often than not.. :) I am a vegetarian. I enjoy reading, drawing & painting, watching documentaries & British comedy. My soul passions are RUNNING, healthy food, DANCING, live music, racing, hiking, cycling, ANYTHING outdoors and TRAVELLING. I am pop culture illiterate and sarcastic. I enjoy dry humour. And I absolutely adore experiencing the different oddities that life has to offer! Life is only as exciting as you make it! :) BE SPONTANEOUS!

PHILOSOPHY

CARPE DIEM! :)

My DREAMS are to travel the world, spread mental health awareness, and contribute to the advancement of the disadvantaged.. To pick up the pieces of our crippling society and give others a chance for their voices to be heard and for their lives to have meaning ♥

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to contribute to the joy that people feel when they are experiencing a foreign country and a new culture. Although I am not from the UK, I can do my best to be an ambassador of this amazing city! :)

In turn, I'd like to visit each of my surfers one day! :) Thus begins my adventure to network across the globe! :)
