About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm 23 years old and from Wales in the united KIngdom. While living in china I taught English and studied Chinese and happened to meet some fantastic people. I'm now travelling with friends i met in china. Our trip should last over two years and started September 2012. I love to see new places and try new things, I graduated with a degree in history and am a self proclaimed dork that knows how to have fun. I get obsessed with books and tv series and I would describe myself as easygoing, fun and a ditz but I love to travel. Some of the best experiences I have had are through meeting locals in the countries I visit and want that to continue!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is all about timing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I have no couch to host as I am travelling, so I'm looking for some friendly and interesting people to host me and enrich my travel experience with the knowledge of the places you can only get from locals x

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I moved to china in 2010 and on my third day my housemate told me we would be hosting a couch surfer. I had no clue what this was....it was a fantastic introduction to couch surfing and I made some great friends that I have kept in contact with for a long time.

Interests

Travel, trying new food, wondering down the wrong street and finding something amazing, trying to understand or speak a new language, even if its just to say thank you. Anything related to history and I'm there and anything with Alexander Skarsgard.

Music, Movies, and Books

Huge fan of the tv series out right now
True blood, the wire, breaking bad, the Tudors, modern family, Big Bang theory, arrested development... The list could go on and on.
Love historical books and historical fiction but also love a good beach read.
The 8year old me still loves the spice girls but my music varies a lot from the kings of Leon to Katy perry, just a huge mix really

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having travelled all my life there are too many to say but experiencing life in rural China sticks, the views from Hong Kong and the food in Sri Lanka all stick in my mind.
