About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be good at something else!

ABOUT ME

Currently i am a student in Crewe, England. Iv always thought iv had an interesting life so far. Iv had the pleasures to travel round parts of the world I would of never thought of going. I want to experience more of the outdoor life, meeting new people and experience new ways of living.

Im a very active person and constantly enjoy learning new skills or just going with a crazy idea.

I am generally very calm, collective and relaxed. I enjoy cooking meals and belive I can cook rather well.

I love watersports; kayaking, surfing, open boating and would love to get into surf kayaking. As well as, hiking, climbing, caving, navigation and general outdoor sports.

I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people and learning about different peoples cultures and ways of life. I throughly enjoy the different cultures throughout the uk, the world and being able to unite people together.

I enjoy meeting new people, no matter who they are. I belive everyone has something to share.

If there is stuff you would like to know send me a message.

PHILOSOPHY

“Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.” – Paul Theroux

I find this quote very inspirational and true. There are so many places I want to go and customs I want to expierence. I dont believe I could say what kind of life I will have in the future or where I will be, but this is all part of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Im new to this, so am willing to participate in anyway possible. I will donate to help see this organisation thrive.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Im getting there....

Interests

I have many interests; some new, some old but all interesting non the less.

When I was travelling in Uganda I went to a hospital where they made and selled paper beads to fundraise for the hospital. I was shown how to make them and have made them ever since. They have helped me to fundraise my gap year in South Africa where I taught in a primary school for disabled kids.

I thoroughly enjoy travelling and enjoy meeting new people, sharing experiences and being able to say I learnt something new of a complete stranger.

I enjoy playing instruments, I can play the flute, drums, and didgeridoos (not amazingly well though, but this is where practice comes in!).

I enjoy doing sports too, archery and hiking are my main sports, and over the past year or so iv heavily got into surfing, kayaking and climbing.

I enjoy cooking and would love to learn how to cook a real Mexican, Indian and Polish meal. If anyone out there can teach me I would highly appreciate it!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently my favourite film is Taken. However, it does change quite alot. I enjoy action, thrillers, comedies, horror films.

Xavier Rudd! Who I think gives me the most inspiration. Other bands/musicans include; Gomez, Weezer, Jeff Buckley, Guy Buttery, Mari Kenaz, Shannon Hope, Audioslave, Ash, Blink 182, Croft No Five, Doves, Enya, Fat Boy Slim, Incubus, Donovan Frankenreiter,Jet and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I lived in Africa, the children I taught were all amazing within themselves. Many of them are severally autistic and unable to lead a 'normal' life. Overtime, I saw them improve in many ways we take for granted and still be able to smile at the end of the day.

Teach, Learn, Share

How to recycle paper in beautiful jewellery (great money maker too)

About archery! Im a coach too

Soon I will be able to coach kayaking too!
