CURRENT MISSION

Gobbledygook

ABOUT ME

I consider myself to be a very open-minded and positive person. The world is such a varied and interesting place with so many interesting people and things to see. I am always eager to meet new people and try new activities (I have a rather eclectic taste!) I also find interesting things interesting, as I have not used the word interesting enough in this paragraph. Failing that, there is always gobbledygook.

I was born in the UK, but currently enjoy living in Sweden. I love wandering and exploring the nature over here that can be found everywhere you turn.

I work in the film industry as a freelance location sound recordist, a job that I find incredibly fullfilling as it allows me to travel all across the country (and futher afield) and see lots of strange and unusual places that I would not see otherwise (as well as meeting and work with a lovely and wonderful array of people). As such, it is my mission to travel as much as I can, meet as many people and take in as many of life's experiences that come along as possible!

Things of note: I am a bit of a nerd, lover of all things musical and vegan.

PHILOSOPHY

What it should be - 'Take life as it comes, run when you have to, fight when you must, rest when you can' - to quote Robert Jordan's 'Wheel of Time' series.

What it is - work hard, work well and dragons.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few years back my housemates and I hosted a wide variety of people over the course of the year, I have found it to be a great experience meeting different types of people and hearing about their traveling tales and ambitions. Since then I have stayed with several different hosts, all of whom have been lovely and gracious and I cannot wait for the next journey!

Интересы

I love many interesting (!) things! I train Capoeira in my spare time and I am a big fan of music, both playing and listening to. I also particularly interested in different mediums of storytelling (including writing and film). I also love most things to do with the outdoors and history (I have a particular soft spot for the Viking era!).

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Watching the Northern Lights shimmer and dance whilst lying on the cold snowy ground in northern Sweden.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I own and play far too many random instruments, so am definitely up for playing/teaching basic bits! I know how to make a viking hat and can make yummy lavender biscuits (I can't guarentee they won't turn into cakes, but cake isn't always bad!), and have a wealth of vegan recipes.
