About Me

I am young and smiley girl from England. Everyday I am learning something new and developing myself. I like to mix going out and having a party with being gentle and reflective also. I'm never too sure where I am going but I always end up exactly where I'm supposed to be in that moment :) this is the way I like to live so I don't really have a plan for the future. I do know that human and animal mind and behaviour interests me a lot and I want to learn more about the origins of consciousness and what it means to be aware of yourself and how you perceive the world. I'm also fascinated by the dynamics of a jungle and all it's plants. We can learn a lot from the jungle and must reconnect ourselves wth it (and then maybe we won't want to tear it down anymore)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I know that this is the best way to travel. Up until now I have never couch surfed via this website however during previous travels I found myself essentially couch surfing and benefitting a lot from people's generosity. These were the most interesting people that I had met and they had a lot to offer to me with their stimulating words and kind actions. I want to continue this way of travelling and so I thought it was time to utilise a website like this, where I can be brought to more like minded people more easily. I also want to give something back as I see this as a mutual exchange
