About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, laugh, enjoy

ABOUT ME

I'm 27, and love my life. I have a great job teaching English and history to high school kids, I just got married, I have hilarious friends and a fun family. My biggest passion is travel, and throughout 2009 I'm travelling all over the world with my husband and our best friend.
I love music, and although indie/alternative is traditionally my favourite, you'll find everything in my collection from heavy metal to dance to classical.
A good night out for me will include catching up with friends and a good pub with good music and a better beer garden!

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you'd like to be treated. Live life with self respect and dignity. Have fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted 2 people late 2008 and loved showing off my city. I've couch surfed in South Korea, and have lived with families in Germany and the US. I also stayed in Scotland with the first person who ever surfed my couch!

Interests

Music is a big passion, and I love going to gigs and music festivals. I'm hoping to get to some fantastic festivals overseas! I love learning about different cultures. I'm also a big nerd who loves reading and crossword puzzles. Oh and hanging out and being silly with friends!
