CURRENT MISSION

To remain a self sufficent re-lapsed traveller attempting to keep my wanderous ways whilst working full time

ABOUT ME

I started traveling as I needed a crash course in 'life'. I hit the Road in September 2006 -> August 2009 and I'm stunned by how much I have learnt about myself and the world in general. Everything that I have learnt has been from people I've met along the way and for this reason I love to be sociable.
I'm still trying to decide that to do when I grow up, but in the mean time I'm taking in as many experiences and good times as one girl can fit into the average Monday morning :)
My life is wide open to everything on offer and I would love to meet some more happy open people :)
I'm not a scary person but I can be extreamly nervous at times so please be nice to me!
Thanks for reading this:)
Maybe the best way for you to see who I am and what I do is for you to look at my Flickr site :http://www.flickr.com/photos/helenthedestroyer/
I'm in London studying my MA at Kings this year :0)

I travel like Bear Grylls !
You are a hardcore traveler with a stomach of steel, and you'll eat a grub out of a tree long before you are even hungry. You can't remember the last time you showered, but you still look good.
What type of traveler are you?

PHILOSOPHY

Take a deep breath and dive on in...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to meet people who live in London both long term and short term and obviously visitors!.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm yet to 'surf a couch' but previous to joining couch surfing I would go on holiday and come home with a couple of Australians instead of a sarong and a sun tan like my other 'normal' friends do...
I am VERY VERY aware that I am not a verified member and that this may well put people off meeting or hosting me- this is because I signed up when traveling and I haven't been anywhere long enough yet to be able to go through the verification procedure yet. If you do not wish to host me because of this then no worries :)

Interests

Poi, Conact juggling, Free Hugs, meeting new people, motorbikes, travel, books, music, learning pretty much anything backgammon, coffee.

Disinterested in alcohol drugs and being horrible. It's totally unnecessary.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: My MP3 player currently holds everything from the Chemical Brothers to Audioslave. Recently discovered Daft Punk and I'm open to everything but Reggae.
Movies: I haven't watched TV for about 6 years.
I love films of all kinds, but special love of sci-fi and action.
Books: Terry Pratchet fanatic, also a lover of Orwell.
It's a must that a book should teach you something, if not factual, then moral or something about yourself. Jonathan Glover, have a gander at his stuff if ever you wanted to know why we are what we are as a society.
I love audio books too, nothing better than being spoon fed a story :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All Of It.

Love to help people with their English too, so don't be afraid to ask :)
