About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting out into this world with no idea what will follow, embracing it all.

ABOUT ME

I am an engaging person, I enjoy connecting with others, hearing about their experiences, sharing my own stories and ideas with the world. Pretty laid-back, enjoy having a good time with both friends and strangers, take life as it comes. Dependable yet quite independent, but still appreciate good company to share experiences with.

Having recently graduated from the University of Edinburgh, M.A. Spanish & Political Science. I am finally hitting the road, the current plan is pretty blank...one-way ticket to Mumbai, but that is where the fun begins. Looking forward to getting some couch-surfing in whilst I'm on the road, and always keen to meet fellow travelers and share stories over a few beers.

PHILOSOPHY

Look for the potential in everything. Life is as you choose to perceive it, so put a big fucking smile on your face and choose to enjoy it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Facebook is for the untravelled.
I lived in an incredible apptment in Buenos Aires, whilst I wasn´t involved in CS at the time we took an array of people in. I met some quality people, was introduced to a whole new perspective of travelling and was told all about CS.

Interests

Not a culinary expert; but always interested in learning, teach me your grandmother's secret recipes!
Admittedly a complete cliché but am adamant on learning to play the guitar whilst on the road.
New found interest in reading now I no longer have to drown myself in Political Theory textbooks.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Anything with a solid beat. But I do like to party, festivals, jam sessions, anything that gets you up and dancing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Motorbiking thorugh the Indian himilayas, trekking through the Northern THai jungles and living with the Karen hill people. Quite honestly humbling.
Wandering with the Hippies in India
