CURRENT MISSION

Taking a break from the 9-5

ABOUT ME

Currently travelling around the States so not hosting at the moment.

Will become unemployed in September so spending money that I don't have on a crazy round America trip. Hoping to meet new people, have new experiences and come back with a few less brain cells and a lot more friends.

After too many years in a crappy job, being made redundant and not getting anything other than short-term contracts I've decided it's time to take a break from the 9 to 5 drudgery and start living life.

PHILOSOPHY

Bring your camera!
Be prepared for the zombie apocalypse.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I know all the best pubs in town, let me be your guide. I've also got an airbed if anyone wants to sleep over! (Yes, I'm a 13 year old girl in my mind!) :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted surfers before I joined CS, now hosting surfers from the site. Also surfed (unofficially) on various friends sofas)
Hoping this good karma will serve me well when I head off on my own adventures soon!
