CURRENT MISSION

To see the world!

ABOUT ME

I love reading, computer games, cooking, baking, eating, running, writing, and gardening. ... and of course, I'm really keen to travel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far the experiences I've had through CouchSurfing have been overwhelmingly positive! I've met some fantastic people along the way, and have kept in touch! Love it.

Interests

I'm a big history buff :)

I like learning about various conspiracy theories haha, but I take them with many, many grains of salt. I try to be environmentally conscious, and I'm mostly vegan for climate change reasons.

I read poetry and books a lot, and I enjoy writing. I love learning new languages, and also English linguistics. I often listen to music, and I love searching /r/listentothis for new tunes. I love blue cheese, and I cook and bake whenever I get a chance. I like drinking good wines and beers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunrise in Cairns, Australia. Absolutely beautiful. On the same trip, we saw a massive stingray right up next to the shore. Scary, but cool! We went snorkeling there, and saw so many crazy fish on the Great Barrier Reef!

Hiking in the Thai jungle, and seeing tarantulas and viper snakes.

Drinking snake blood in Vietnam.
