About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet wonderful new people, try things I've never tried before and end every day with a smile

ABOUT ME

I am an active, enthusiastic person - I will try just about anything once, though legality is pretty important to me. I am passionate about music, dance and meeting new people, and about the work I do with children. My favourite things to talk about are dinosaurs, food and music, in that order. I am very creative, and like to visit unusual museums and monuments to get ideas for new projects. I also aim to visit an aquarium in every city I visit, if there is one, and relish any opportunity I can get to cook.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to remember that whenever things go wrong for me, I am capable of finding a way through to happier times again. Smiling and being strong help those around you to feel happy, and if they're happy, you get happier, too. If you can spread joy, spread it, in however small a way. Do little unexpected things for people whenever you can. Good Karma comes around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I'm keen to do a little couchsurfing myself, but any time I'm in Bristol or London, I'm happy to meet fellow couchsurfers and show them around. I ultimately want to open my doors to people needing a place to stay, but right now I've got noplace for them to sleep, so it's not really an option :(

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only vicarious experiences through friends, and meeting my boyfriend's numerous couchsurfing visitors, all of whom have been very friendly!
