About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Only if I choose to accept it...

ABOUT ME

I love learning. So this means that if you've got a story, i want to hear it. Friendly, sociable and amiable are all basically saying the same thing: I smile and laugh easily, and enjoy a drink!
I love traveling and returned from a 4 month tour of Europe and the UK earlier this year.
I'm currently at Universtiy studying History and English Literature. Eventually i'll work towards being a teacher, but at the moment i'm just enjoying the learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
