CURRENT MISSION

To explore the North of England meeting stranger's and finding friends

ABOUT ME

After spending the evening talking to a friend who is from new Zealand I asked her what else she wished she had done with her time in the UK, her response was to have seen more of it.

She makes a good point, I have lived in the North of England for a year now and have seen very little of it despite having explored elsewhere pretty extensively

So now I want to change that, so here I am......tell me your favorite place up 't north , show me your town/ city/ village and then recomend the next place I head.

PHILOSOPHY

Try everything once, you never know you might like it....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One word, AMAZING (apart from once but we are not talking about that and my faith in people is slowly being rebuilt)

Interests

I am very much a people person I find different cultures and their peoples fascinating. Food and the way people relate to it is my big interest, not to mention the oppertunity to try wonderful new things. I believe in trying and tasting everything once, this has led me down some very interesting and unexpected paths. I have a thirst for unusual and interesting knowledge and as such am pretty good at quiz night in the pub.
Other than that it is the usual I guess, reading, art (I have a soft spot for the classics especially those of the religious variety), history, and I quite enjoy a lie on the beach and a paddle in the sea!

Music, Movies, and Books

So wide and vaired that i can not even start, some would say bad, some would say great; Electro Swing through Gospel Soul via Rod Stewart and the Cure and everything inbetween.
I will read pretty much anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow, I do not even know where to start.....
The staggeringly beautiful scenery of California that I was just not expecting.
Watching the blue moon set and the sun rise sat in the middle of the playa with a friend I have not seen for years
Riding with cowboys out across the pampas
There are so many more, and I don’t really feel that picking is fair to all of the other fabulous things that I have seen or done.
