ABOUT ME

i am currently a final year literature student at Cardiff University- and still struggling to actually finish a book!
i have no idea what i would like to do next, but hope it will involve travelling. i would really like to explore Northern Europe.
i love music; festivals, gigs, vinyl, cool record shops,and my boyfriend playing guitar.
i write the Best postcards, will beat you at scrabble (perhaps) and can play kum by yah on the harmonica, but i cannot cook, map read or make origami. i am scared of escalators and goodbyes.
my friends tend to describe me as happy and sandy.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couch surfed both officially and unofficially since my gap year in 2007, and don't intend to stop any time soon! I have hosted, been hosted and helped organise a number of very diverse gatherings- from swing dancing in Sydney's Hyde Park to free hugs in Byron Bay.
