CURRENT MISSION

Learn as much as I can from (not necessarily) older and wiser people than I can!

ABOUT ME

My friends tend to see me as pretty driven and a bit Green, yet the more I seek out like-minded people the more I come to admire of people's stories, achievements and commitments. I still feel like a novice person- I just want to have interesting conversations and learn from people! As a slight internet addict and someone who’s always keen to know what’s going on, my friends reckon I have a freakish knowledge of local happenings. My friends more often than not see me as smiley, fairly silly and loyal friend. Difficult question though, so here is a direct quote: 'down-to-earth, genuine and up for an adventure' :)

PHILOSOPHY

We are what we do and not what we think we should do.

Nothing sums up my attitude towards this whole experience than the following quote:

Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

Henry Miller

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently on an Erasmus year in Turin and take part and a food growing project in here . However at the moment I am just enjoying the opportunity to meet lots of new international friends

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to have a strict Couchsurfing experience, but I have had the good fortune to stay with some really generous hosts who I did not know before I arrived. These experiences were really positive. I loved the the exchange of cultural tidbits and food!

I love the people you meet in these situations, who have had such interesting experiences/have such interesting perspectives.

兴趣

I enjoy drinking coffee in beautiful places and meeting people and having unexpected conversations or evenings. I like going to talks and events and watching the odd Ted talk or two. I love camping and being near the sea.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I feel like I am at the very beginning of my travelling/global experience- I'm just getting in the swing of things. Here are a few of my favourite moments.

One of the most exciting singular experience of my life was being involved in a OneBillionRising dance in Turin. Although we weren't part of the formal dance we managed to lead a conga line of hundreds of people and encourage some other dancing festivities. The excitement and connection between the crowd was amazing and unexpected

- Living in a city in which you can constantly glimpse the Alps takes my breath away on a daily basis
- A cliff side view of Naples, beautiful shimmery sea, city lights at sunset with some of my best friends seems to me to be exactly what travelling should be about.
