About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To stop looking and start living.

ABOUT ME

About me... well, I'm 20, pint-sized, analytical, talkative, thoughtful, level-headed, I enjoy a good laugh, partying's not essential but loved, I love to learn languages (Si vous êtes francophone(s), n'hésitez pas à me contacter en français!) , I'm eternally curious, I'd love to find some answers and maybe some new questions as well. Sports? I like Tennis, but it isn't very fond of me. Exploring is my life, and the odd adventure isn't bad either. I probably spend wayy too much time on the internet (at least i'm doing something productive at the moment), but I love to get out in nature when I can. I can seem quiet, and I've been told I'm a good listener, but I can talk your face off if given the chance.

I'm not hosting right now, but I'm not currently working full-time either, so if you're in need of someone to meet up with and show you around, I'll most likely be available! Just shoot me a message! :)

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy right now would be to first of all to live my life for myself, and not let others or myself hold me back. It can be hard to stick to at times!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to host someone, but as I live with a family of 6 jammed into a rather small house, it's not looking likely at the moment. When I move out (hopefully soon), I'll definitely look into it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a great couchsurfing experience traveling through England, France, Belgium and The Netherlands last summer. The sheer diversity and generosity of the people you meet is amazing. It's an experience that I'll never forget!

Interests

Interests? Hmm. Like everyone I love music, but I consider my tastes really broad, I really will listen to anything you throw at me :) With the possible exception of Country. :) I enjoy Tennis, it doesn't enjoy me however. I love History, which is why it's so exciting to be in a city as storied as London. As you could probably tell, I love travelling! I'm really a curious person so I guess I could be interested in anything if given the chance.

Music, Movies, and Books

-I like basically anything by Philippa Gregory. She writes historical fiction, and I'm fairly certain even if history isn't your thing, you'll still love her writing
-Gods Behaving Badly is super funny, with a hilarious premise.

I've never been big on movies but Inglourious Basterds definitely sticks out in my mind. If you haven't seen it yet, do it! Agora is also really good, and sheds light on a historical character not many know about.

Discovery Channel is basically all I watch, but I also enjoy the odd- guess- travel show! Pilot Guides is a favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would have to say waking up and seeing the clouds from above for the first time- (my first time on a plane was last year) May be pretty standard for most but I thought it was beautiful!

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Canada, France, Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States
