CURRENT MISSION

To make my photographs look better than real life.

ABOUT ME

Whilst very independent, I love meeting new people, and spending time with old friends. Although I can be quiet at first I have loads to say with people I've got things in common with. I've learnt a lot about myself through training to be a counsellor and through travelling in Asia this year, as well as working with kids.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that you'll regret the things you didn't do, not the things you did.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met lots of people in different cities and towns,. I hosted many couchsurfers when I lived in Phnom Penh. Would love to host again but right now it's difficult and I'm nearly always happy to offer tips on my city and hang out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've enjoyed meeting loads of different people who've taught me about their lives and their home towns. Highlights are making friends, seeing things and meeting people you just wouldn't as a 'normal'tourist.
