Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I recently had my first couch surfing experience in Portugal. I was blown away by the hospitality I received and how much fun it was. My mission is to share the couch surfing joy.
ABOUT ME
I am someone who has quite a curious mind and many interests. I love to travel, experience new things, learn languages, read history and generally explore. The coolest things I've done to date are probably: living with a Peruvian family for two months, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, impersonating Frank Sinatra in a talent show, learning to be a doctor, and recently, cycling the Camino de Santiago. I love my family more than anything and visit my home town of Milton Keynes regularly. I love the outdoors and think camping is awesome. I like playing piano and taking pictures with my fancy camera. My favourite thing in the world is the feeling of wonder that arises when pondering the magnificence of life, the universe and everything.
PHILOSOPHY
I like the Gandhi quote: "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." I have learnt a lot from Buddhism, which is very important to me.
