CURRENT MISSION

Work out my next steps into non-academic world

ABOUT ME

I've just finished studying in Scotland, yet to decide my next steps though I have lots of plans and hope they involve getting good use out of my passport!

PHILOSOPHY

Still working this one out. I've been studying philosophy for four years, and need a little space to think my own thoughts for a bit outside of the academic sphere... My thoughts are settling gently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

How I participate? Well.. I am very good at making sure there's always a good supply of toilet paper, and always wash up coffee pots after using them. Plus I bake a mean flapjack.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only been couchsurfing once so far, Richie was a lovely, very welcoming host to myself and a friend.
I look forward to my next couchsurfing experience!

Lots of Steve McQueen, Cohen Brothers, Tarantino.

Books, too many to count. I read through my local library as a child, wrote a few reviews in my homework diary of not particularly suitable reading for an 8 year old, which came as a bit of a shock to my teacher...

Secretly enjoy too many terrible books and movies that I won't name on here

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This memory is from a very long time ago- walk across the rainforest walkway in Ghana. It is a walkway in the treetops of the rainforest, and even though I was pretty young when I experienced it, the memory will never leave me. Especially the glimpse of a what I think was a leopard sleeping beneath me! (like to think, anyway..)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an only child but I HAVE learnt how to share, I promise. Possibly not so great if it's my last salt and vinegar crisp, however if you are very deserving then just maybe...
