ABOUT ME

Well... My name is Alish.. I'm 18.. I was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan... I moved to England when I was 11 and had to learn English from scratch.. this gigantic culture shock made me want to see as many cultures and meet as many people as possible..
I was planning on going to uni this year, however didn't get the right grades and had to re-sit the exam in January... a few days ago I got a letter from a university saying they want me to start in September!! So now.. I have many months to go and do what I have always wanted to do... To explore... To meet new people... To share stories... To travel!
I live not far from London...
Love to play sports... I have a red belt in Taekwon-do... love to skateboard.. play rugby, football and table tennis!
I also love art... I pain tshirts, and occasionally do some drawings... Art is one of my hidden passions!
I also play piano... I'm grade 7, and want to get a teachers degree in the next few years... I play piano and bass in a band... so would be happy to teach you a few things!
I also love to DJ, and often get asked to host parties at people's houses..
I love music. Music is my main passion in life... I go to many gigs and music festivals...
Basically... I want to meet as many people as possible... have as many conversations as possible... and be happy!
I love laughing and am easy to be around... I'm not a fussy eater.. I don't mind where I sleep...
I'm chatty... easy going... funny and enthusiastic!

PHILOSOPHY

Something I have always said:

Yesterday is gone..
Tomorrow is unknown..
Today is a gift, and that's why it's called a present.

So true! So seize the moment!
