CURRENT MISSION

To eat, run, boogie, sip and sing my way around the world

ABOUT ME

I enjoy long walks on the beach... well to be honest I probably prefer a long run on it...

I've been travelling since May 2010. I worked for a couple of months in Cambodia, then traipsed around some other South East Asian countries for a couple of months. I flew to London with no real plans, and with London dreariness getting me a little down, somehow ended myself up in rural France, working as an au pair (and having a lovely time drinking wine in sunny fields and playing my guitar.)

Am now country-hopping across Europe for a little while before heading back to the UK to hopefully work as a physiotherapist (or become a hugely successful West End star... either one.)

I'm easygoing, friendly, a little disorganised in the head at times but enthusiastic about life and doing lots with it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing whenever I can at the moment, and with each new experience feeling more excited about hosting when I'm finally settled somewhere in the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have LOVED Couch Surfing through Europe- I feel like my experiences of cities has been about 476% better than if I had stayed in a hostel/hotel with a million other travellers. I feel so lucky to have made friends with wonderful hosts, even just over a few days. I really enjoy the exchanging of information, stories, knowledge and culinary delights!

Teach, Learn, Share

* I know a few excellent travel-happy card and dice games.
* I can strap a sprained ankle pretty well.
* I know enough chords to crank out a few (badly played) tunes on my little guitar that's travelling with me.

* I'd like to be able to play the guitar better!
* My French could do with as much practice as possible (seems to be better after a beer or two..?)
* My knowledge of current world events and/or quantum physics could probably be improved by about 100%
