Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Ruthlessly disorganised.
ABOUT ME
Friendly, interesting, always looking to see the bright/ funny side of life (even if they don't always coincide). There's always a new adventure waiting around the corner. I'm open-minded to the point that I actually enjoyed the last time I was mugged, just because it was a new experience. Not meaning I'd want to repeat the experience, mind.
PHILOSOPHY
Do what you enjoy and enjoy what you do. Failing that, see if you can't start a chain of miniature photo booths and take over the world with slightly-blurry pictures of leprechauns.
Always happiest surrounded by nature. When I'm tired of people (happens sometimes) that's always where you'll find me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'd like to have people down to see me at uni in Exeter, and I'd like to see Europe on a shoestring, as they say.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
None at all, but a billion friends have recommended it to me. They were termites and not the most welcome guests, I later found out. Knew how to have a good time though.
Interests
Literature, film, music. Generally I shoot for higher-brow stuff but often fall short and end up enjoying any old crap. Can't say it matters though!
- literature
- cooking
- music
- philosophy
Music, Movies, and Books
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy could sum up my philosophy above as well, but it does do a good job of highlighting my literature interests. Other than that, I love anything and everything which challenges me or has something important to say. As for film... much the same can be said.
Music can be pretty much every variation of rock, a bit of blues and a healthy smattering of jazz. Generally speaking, if it's good music, I'll love it. And I'm prepared to listen to anything once!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Lived in Spain teaching English for year and fell head over heels in love with the experience. Heart set on seeing as much of the world as possible in my lifetime.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a part time philosopher. It kinda goes hand in hand with spending a lot of time doing nothing, you see. Other than that... my cooking is experimental, to say the least (try at your own risk), my knowledge is ecclectically spread with a few areas of depth (you'll have to ask if you want to know which!).
Always make sure that I'm being serious - my humour is slightly dark and I have a bad habit of starting stories without any particular point which don't even
