Im back in edinburgh because i love this city, im supervising at a very cool chilled bar (board games, sofas, candles, live music etc,,,) and it help that my good friend is the owner ;)
Ill be stydying social care at Uni here, and eventually i'll work with placing foster kids with the right foster parents, i'll also work with street kids, and i have a plan to set up a charity helping old people who are alone at christmas... Sounds like a busy life, butttt i party hard just like the rest of em! ;) i have great friends in edinburgh, and there's always something going on, live music, food, drinks, and road trips...
I want to meet people from all over the world, learn new things, enjoy listening to Your experiences, and just meet good people!! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will host, and hopefully Be hosted on my future travels... I plan on setting up groups for live music nights, gatherings and such... And maybe what i thought would be cool is, Trading Skills ?!?!?! We set up a group, some one teaches how to make sushi one evening, and in return another night someone teaches how to make paella etc... same with dance, salsa vs african drumming etc... sounds like fun no?! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

friends told me about couch surfing, so when i worked in france, i told my friend on couch surf to feel free to advertise my place as a free place to stay (i had a spare room in my apartment) and i also gave free snowboard and ski lessons just for fun... in return i met amazing people from around europe, taught them how to snowboard, and i learnt how to make great different tyoes of food! lol
I also did the same in greece, people came to stay with me in Kos and Athens, and we had great times...

Climbing in the white mountains of maine (america)
sunsets on the islands of thailand and cambodia.
an abused child who after four weeks of silence on my programme, finally one day said "jamie this class sucks"! it was her way of letting me know she finally trusted an adult again. it was funny that she told me my course sucked though! lol, but it did bring a tear to my eye.
the highlands of scotland, edinburgh castle and royal mile.
two migits in tracksuits having a dance off in a club! lol
