ABOUT ME

I'm currently studying for a degree in English Literature whilst I live with my boyfriend in Brighton. We have a pet hamster, lots of house plants and a too-small, falling-apart but very comfortable couch.
When I graduate in 2013 my dream is to move to Amsterdam and study some more - at the moment I've got my eye on an MA in Literature And Culture.
I drink a lot of coffee, smoke, read a lot, get distracted by Twitter a lot...
Friends would probably say I can be a bit of a social recluse, or work too hard, scrabbling towards an impossible level of perfection; but also that I'm conscientious, funny (at times), caring, organized, creative, artistic, good fun and very easy to get on with :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not yet taken part in any CouchSurfing, but it's something I very much want to try! Staying in a beautiful new city with people who live there... what's not to like about that?

Interests

My main interests in life are all to do in some way or another with creativity! Most of all I love music - all sorts of music - and I love writing. Writing about music is a beautiful combination and something I really enjoy, and I hope to keep doing this in the future.
I also love art, appreciating the work of others as well as making art of my own. Symbolism! Oh my god, I love a bit of symbolism.
I love tidying and arranging things, being in a nice environment etc.
I love fashion and probably spend far too much money on new clothes, although, I have a very active eBay account that helps to minimize the damage on my bank account!
I enjoy getting trains, going to London, walking around everywhere, being in the different energy of cities and countryside...
Basically all sorts. I'm an open kind of individual and life is engaging only when you're interested, so, I try to remain interested.
