About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people and see the world :D

ABOUT ME

Hiya! I'm 24 and finished Uni. I didn't have a real plan after I finished it as I have several ideas about what to do next.. so I decided to become an Au Pair to get some roots down in the UK and get an idea of what I want to do next (study more or find work, do a PhD, go into teaching/editing/journalism)... So there!

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life the way you want to and don't let anything or anyone hold you back from trying to realize your dreams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I went to a couple of events and I stayed at one person's place! Which was quite enjoyable. I can't host at the moment as I am staying with a family but when I get my own room somewhere I'll be sure to start hosting again!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I realized a lifelong dream I had of going to America in 2011. I was there for over 3 weeks and stayed in hostfamilies.. It was the most amazing thing I had ever done.. I met so many wonderful and kind people! I went to New York, Philadelphia and Boston and some smaller places in the neighborhood.
