About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeking the best definition of happiness.

ABOUT ME

I'm a law student originally from London but studying at the University of Leeds. This year I'm living in Lyon, France and making the most of the Erasmus experience, seeing as much of France as I can, and meeting the huge community of international students from all over the world in this amazing city!
I can't host at the moment as I live in the tiniest student residence but I'm always up to meet new people and get chatting over a cup of tea/glass of wine, and I'd love to meet people during my travels.

I'm easy-going, got a big smile, hate confrontation but love conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

Love and be loved.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've noticed how my perceptions have changed as I've met people that come from such different places to me. I want to carry on this learning process and continue to meet and share experiences with people who come from all over the place! Also, I've noticed the perception of British people is that we're pretty uptight, and I want to change that!

Interests

I love poetry, singing, discovering new music, sarcastic comedy, going on long walks and exploring! I love chatting, meeting new people and finding out about them, learning French, and food. Pretty much all food will make me happy.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is a tough question because it completely depends on my mood - classical piano when I'm feeling deep, RnB and soul for late at night, indie/acoustic singer songwriters for long journeys, cheesy pop for good days.

As for movies I'm mostly into romance (because I'm a sappy romantic) but also love a good horror film

Books: being a law student really quashes the time you have to read for pleasure, so it's been a few years, but I'm a massive Harry Potter nerd, and also love anything that'll make you think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Currently on an epic poetry journey since November 2014 where I write one poem a day for a year. Wish me luck!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty open-minded and laid-back, and I like a good deep conversation! I'd like to hear your strong views: what gets you angry/makes you happy, your philosophies and musings, try your favourite food, and share the same for me.
