I am ready to live, learn and love. I want to never stop doing these things in my life. As one way of going about this I am traveling around some of America for 2 months starting in January 2016. I want to meet as many people from different backgrounds and who have different experiences as possible and any couch/spare bed/shared dog's bed would be much appreciated during my adventure.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am absolutely obsessed with music, playing and listening. I love jazz, blues, soul, R&B, some pop, funk. I enjoy pretty much every type of music however. I love going to gigs and festivals to listen and to dance (sometimes well, sometimes not so well.....). I do some gigs on my own and with a couple of bands so would love to share my music with whoever I am with, whether that be on the piano or on my melodica!!!

Movies and TV.... just yes, nothing more needs to be said!!!

Like my musical tastes my reading tastes are similarly broad. Favorite book I have read at this point in time, The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recent amazing thing that I've done was galloping across the Millennium bride in London at night.

Teach, Learn, Share

There are few things I want more than to learn, if you talk about something with passion I will listen with passion.

Everything is better when shared, I hate the stereotypical image of a teenager who does nothing but sit in their room constantly on their phone or computer or whatever. Go and and experience the real world.

I believe that people should ultimately search for 2 things in life, happiness and love (one of the things I do to try and help this along is giving happiness to people, I say "have some happiness" and push it towards them. You may think it strange but I like it).

My philosophy is perfectly encompassed by the words of one of my heroes in every sense of the word hero, USE YOUR HEART TO LOVE SOMEBODY AND IF YOUR HEART IS BIG ENOUGH, USE IT TO LOVE EVERYBODY.
