CURRENT MISSION

To meet some exciting people and have fun and learn another language - Spanish to start with!

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm just about to finish my degree and be let loose on the big wide world. First of all I'm heading to Morocco with my lovely housemates, to relax and explore for a few weeks. Then in September I'm going to South America, which I'm so excited about. I want to ride the Andes on Horseback, and I'm going to go and Wwoof (World wide opportunities on organic farms).
I don't want to just travel places look, see and move on. Which I suppose is why I love the idea of couch surfing, as it sounds like such amazing thing to include in your travels.

I think I'm pretty easy going and relaxed most of the time - except perhaps when I'm hungry. I like to laugh a lot too.

I love having dinners with friends, with lot's of wine - the ones where you feel like you have only been sat down a few minutes, until you realise that actually a few hours have gone by.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd really like to host people. In the near future I'm away quite a lot, but try me you might get the right window.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but I hope I can update this part of my profile soon!

Interests

I love to go out, dance, read, cook, horse ride. I love swimming in the sea. I have recently rediscovered playing the flute - though this could just be procrastination. I love the theatre, recently saw some really interesting plays at the Brighton Fringe Festival. I used to paint a lot, which is something I want to find more time for. My favourite art gallery is the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice. It used to be her home, and is just the most amazing and personal collection of modern art - she was married to Max Ernst for a while, so there are quite a few of his and I love the surrealists.

I found re-visiting Venice last summer pretty amazing, so much marble just kind of floating.
