About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life's a garden... dig it!

ABOUT ME

I'm all about good friends, good times and nature.... If I know I'm close to some happy people and some happy animals then I'm a happy girl :) o and did mention i love to party?!

Be the eternal optimist... it will always work out :)

Im always on the hunt for an adventure however big or small... but its usually via the sun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm about to embark on the next leg of my adventure having travelled for 2.5 years im now on my way to Oz to earn some cash to fund the next trip! I want to meet locals who want to show me a little bit their life, who will show me their favourite bar, art gallery, favourite spot on the river... and in return I have so much to offer - great laughs, crazy times and great cooking! If you need it, I can shake up your day!

I also look forward to becoming a host when i get back to London - I love London so much so will be the perfect girl to show it off!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing rules - I have been shown hospitality of the highest order through CS - and friends of CSurfers.

Just to prove the power of CS I had a completely unique and magic experience staying in the Galapagos for 12 nights in 3 seperate CS houses, and when my passport and money got stolen I would have been completely stuck if it wasnt for the kindness, help and generosity of CSurfers and their friends and family.

I heart CS... off to find the next couch!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Couchsurfing the Galapagos Islands

Teach, Learn, Share

The Platypus (native mammal of Australia) has poisonous 'spurs' on the back of its feet, instead of nipples the female excretes milk through its pores, it has a ducks bill, fur and flipper like feet... weird!

Cuba is home to the smallest mammal, the smallest reptile, the smallest bat AND the smallest bird... but it is the 7th largest island in the world... I don't get it!
It is also home to the weird fish/mammal that has lungs and gills and can walk on land and swim under water. Ew!
