About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I love to see what happens if you just say yes

ABOUT ME

After 3 years of travelling around I've finally arrived back in London.

I would say I have a spontaneous and reckless personality but see this as a good thing as I'm able to take risks and opportunities more easily than others.

Good things tend to come to me more often than not and so I feel that I normally land on my feet.

I think I can be quite pragmatic - if something seems bad at the time there's sure to be something good that comes out of it - even if it's only learning something new about yourself.

I really enjoy travel and learning, I like to juggle and play guitar (badly) and currently enjoy trying to learn a couple of languages. I get distracted easily and really like to try new things.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in Karma and Balance. I love the idea of things working in circles and really like the power and symbolismn of the moon

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined a few years ago but never really got into the swing of things. I never spent enough time on the internet to get in and send/check messages.

Now with the "Activities" section and my constant internet connection at home and work I would like to see what's going on in my home town and find some great hobbies and good people

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Non yet

Interests

I love writing, I love the emotional effect word's can have on people.

I really like juggling and other circus toys, I love languages, writing and reading and quite enjoy cycling around when I get the chance.

I have my climbing shoes in the cupboard but they haven't been used for much except bouldering in the mountains in australia
