CURRENT MISSION

Attempting to reach escape velocity! And escape!

ABOUT ME

I've been a member of CouchSurfing for some time, but am still new to it all! I love to get an insight into the lives of people in the countries I visit, and Couch Surfing seems to be the best way to do it. I used to be an animator, but now am a writer (more steady work!).

I'm a freelance copywriter, which means I can work anywhere with a wifi connection - have been for about a year. Just came back from Turkey and India, and am freezing in the UK!

I'm a friendly person, obsessed with travel and avoiding the 9-5. I hope you have a sofa with my name on it! See you soon.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is out there, with so many amazing things and people to see - so my question is, why aren't we all out there enjoying it?

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I'm quite shy I do love meeting new people. Currently on Dartmoor, England, where there are no surfers (unless you count sheep) and even less hosts (unless you count bogs).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only one so far, in sunny Mumbai. I've bumped into a few couchsurfers on my travels though.
