My friends call me a little pocket rocket! Taking life by the balls and giving it some! Who knows what comes next and I dont like wasting time by sitting doing nothing about it.
I think different people from other cultures and backgrounds are the ones that I learn from, I love how we all look at life through different pairs of eyes and yet still we make life-long connections and relationships with sometimes the most unlikely.
Easy going is definitely one of my traits, Im not into drama and negativity can basically DO ONE!
Love a good laugh and enjoy nothing more sometimes than sitting with friends and giggling the night away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After 8 years of working my ass off I finally took the plunge to leave my 9-5 and spend my time travelling for the foreseeable future. There is so much I want to see and experience and although I'm not 'finding-myself' along the way I'd like to explore other interests whilst I have the time, people and places around me to do so.
There's lots I want to learn and learning from people is the best way!

Interests

Creativity is my main love, anything from watercolour painting, sculpture, fashion and one day I hope to make a career out of this, but who knows what in. I also enjoy sports although as long as there is a celebratory beer waiting for me after!

When I was a kid I always said I wanted to be a chef, and still to this day that might be true! Food is amazing and I'm always smiling when I'm cooking and eating it!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm fortune to have grown up in a house where music has surrounded me, both old and new! Mostly at a young age I listened to the smiths, REM, the clash....70s/80s pop rock. Throughout my teens I had a stint listening to pretty intense dance music, mostly dancing the night and early hours away.
Nowadays my playlist has pretty chilled songs from Alt-J, SBTRCT and some punk rock such as slaves. (Thanks to my evening work in a rock pub in London)

Movies is a difficult one for me since I've been told I'm a movie dunce! I only recently watched shawshank redemption for the first time a year or so ago and much to many of my friends horror, none of the Star Wars films have been ticked off the list yet! Normally I love action, adventure, comedy but please NO HORROR! Im a wimp!

Love reading classics and crime/drama. Since Ive been on the road its been intersting to read books relavant to the place Ive been in. I was recently in La Paz, Bolivia whilst reading "marching powder", what a read!

Teach, Learn, Share

At home I'm trained as a network engineer although whilst travelling I love to divulge in my creative interests. I'd love to try something new like carpentry, and keen to learn more about agriculture and the environment.

As a native English speaker I'm always happy to offer help with anyone learning or trying to refine. My Spanish is pretty basic so would be great to meet someone so I could practice and vice-versa.

What I Can Share with Hosts

It would be great to share my experiences and stories along the way. Although I like a laugh I would also like to gain some meaningful insights and learn.
I'm very kind (so I've been told!) and really love helping others where I can. If there's something you think I can do to help and get my hands dirty I would be happy to help!

I want to learn about people!
