About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To truly be a part of this amazing world whilst contributing to and appreciating it's diverseness and beauty!!

ABOUT ME

Where do you start?

I'm a pretty easy going gal who's lots of fun and enjoys getting amongst it.

I fill my time getting outdoors, eating out, going dancing or just staying in veging out (trying to catching up on sleep from attempting to fit too much in)

When I get the chance I love to cook as well and will always give most things a try.... well at least once!!

PHILOSOPHY

'If music be the food of love... play on'

'Why be a cog in the wheel, when you can be a spanner in the works'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only just come back from an extensive journey so once I have a more set home base I welcome fellow travellers to come and stay with me... wherever that may be at the time!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm brand spanking new to the experience so I don't have much to say other than the people I have met, that are involved in the project, are really open and giving people.

I will continue to share my individual experiences with anyone else that is interested in being part of the process. You've just got to give it a go to understand how it can be a fantastic & positive contribution to travellers all over.

Interests

I spend my spare time going to see pub gigs/theatre and eating out with friends. I work in the city at a boring office job (to pay the bills) and work part-time in music/theatre to keep my sanity and help me save for trips and stuff.... I'm not very good at sacrificing lifestyle for leisure.

I spend most of time spare time getting outdoors and keeping active. I like rock-climbing, skiing, hiking - anything that get's me out and about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Heli Skiing in Canada, Glastonbury Festival, Learning to sail whilst Helping crew a 24ft Yacht to the Isles of Scilly...oooo, I'll come back to that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a good cook so am always willing to teach someone the basics. I follow the ready, steady, cook principle that you can make something tasty from very basic ingredients.

I'm also willing to share time spent getting out and seeing some of this beautiful world we live in. Whether that be a hike up a mountain or a meander through the nooks and cranny of a city.

I would love to learn more languages so am open to learning what I can. I want to do some scuba diving at some point as well.
