Resumen
Sobre mí
Hey guys,
So I was originally born and raised in London, I moved to Belfast when I was 14. Just finished my bachelors degree in business management trying to work out what direction to go in so really excited at the prospect of meeting new people and getting their 2 cents on their life to date.
A year ago I done some volunteering over in Nicaragua with young entrepreneurs, I lived with a family for 5 months, at the start I couldn't speak a word of Spanish. Overtime though we grew closer through body language or gestures like giving them a hand washing dishes, such a beautiful thing how people can just connect. I'd like to experience a similar thing with as many people as possible, I am a very gregarious person and love learning about and from others.
What Can I offer?
Banter, random facts about psychology, a listening ear, fashion advice (only on request), a listening ear, a pep talk, a smile, a wing woman, genuine interest
My Values
Stay positive, respect yourself and others, lighten up, make an eejit out of yourself, be true to you and as authentic as possible, try to brighten peoples days, work hard and good things will come & constantly challenge yourself
Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
I want to meet new people, I prefer hearing about places and things through the eye of a local.
I am trying to become a more rounded person, and I feel the best way to improve yourself is to expose yourself to different people.
Everyone has a story, and there is nothing more genuine then hearing about a person and where they came from.
I want to learn, I ultimately would like to work in a position where I am managing people, and I think the best way to do that is to learn about as many individuals as I can so that I can be the best person to help guide others in their careers
Intereses
Pretty eclectic I guess; I played basketball and squash at county level and done a bit of kickboxing a couple of years back- I want to get back into team sport loved being part of a squad.
Always been a keen dancer, my style is I guess a bit unique as this talent was homed in London, but I am open to sharing the shuffle if you want to see it, last year I took salsa classes as well but mostly just dance when I go out to bars and clubs.
I like to express myself through art so pretty much anything that is considered an art I have tried or intend to try. Over the years I have built boxes, picture frames, minature model houses, drum kits, boats and painted some horses, painting isn't really my thing.

Algo increíble que he hecho
Swam with sharks?
Although I have done that, doesn't really say much about me I guess..
3 years ago I went to Edinburgh to visit my step sister, we ended up going out for Hogmonay, the club we decided to go into however had very few people. I saw that there were people outside recruiting people to come inside, however they were relatively unsuccessful, I went up to a guy - I think he was the manager from his general posture. I offered to help in return for payment same as the rest of the door staff which was a commmisssion of £1 per person who handed in a flyer I had given them with my initials on them. I ended up making £50 that night and the manager paid for all of my drinks due to the success, honestly I have no idea to this day how I managed it, but hey it's a good indicator of social skills I like to think
