ABOUT ME

Eternal rambler!
I apologise and thank a lot, but it's sincere, and if you ask me how I am the response is usually "ok", "alright", or "fine".
I am a curious person with a yearning to travel and see the world, I am pretty much vegan, passionate about low-impact eco-friendly living. I have a love for music, tickets, design, trains, architecture and photography and I love good painting.
Shy sometimes but usually friendly, earnest and clean, erm, I think that's it!
No it isn't, I LOVE to laugh till I cry. There, that's it.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a firm believer in "Do good, Be good, Feel good"!
I also realise that I'm a faulty human and prone to melancholy, and that's ok too, recently I'm learning that "good enough" is actually good enough and nobody needs to be perfect and marvellous and dazzling ALL the time... Learning...
Follow the School of Life on YouTube and the Book of Life website too, Alain de Botton and his friends are super!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't used CS in years but I've been wandering alone in cities a lot recently it seems and wondering how to meet new people, brainwave; Couch Surfers!
So, whoever and wherever we are, I would like to meet new people and learn new things.
At the moment I live with my best friend in Cardiff city centre.
If you're stuck for a place to crash I might be able to host you, but have to check with my housemates first...
If you'd like to meet up I'm up for that too if I'm around :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a couple times, a few years ago I travelled with my (then) boyfriend and stayed with 4 great hosts (reviews on his profile - Mateusz Andrzejewski).
I've met great humans so far :)

Interests

I love the small interesting details that are often overlooked, cracked tiles, shafts of light, a good baseline and a decent spoon with a lovely cup of tea or coffee.
Feminism, so to me (and all real feminists) that means; Equality for all genders, races or religion, that's a big one!
Like most people with sense I love great music, art and design, architecture and beautiful books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived life thus far!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can speak Welsh which doesn't seem that common on CS (or Wales), so, maybe I could teach it for a little fun to those willing.
I'm happy to draw, photograph, film and generally participate in the making of stuff with people :-) and I love to cook and eat (and drink a bit) with others.
