CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, live in the moment

ABOUT ME

I am from the UK. I have been traveling for the last 3 years, one year in South America and the last 2 in New Zealand, After spending some time in Hawaii and Colorado, I returned to England, I am now living in Leeds. wondering what to do next...

I love the outdoors and anything that evolves that. I love to travel and see how other people live. A big passion in my life now is dance, I'm learning Tango and try to get to lost of Contact Improvisation workshops \ jams.

PHILOSOPHY

"be the change you want to see in the world" - gandhi, It's a good philosophy one I would like to adhere to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to host a couch as soon as I have a suitable house in the UK, I love my county (well some bits) and would like to show people the nicer places around where I live. I also think it is really expensive to travel and stay in the UK so I would like people who traditional would find it too costly to come and be able to explore.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to all this, but I like hitching and picking up hitchers, which I guess must be similar. Especially as the last two I picked up ended up staying on my couch. And in NZ I have had some really positive experience of being put up for the night by complete strangers. its a great way to meet all kind of different people.
