About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Well there are a bunch of things I´d like to do with my life, but right now I'm happy to put one foot in front of the other and just go with it

ABOUT ME

I love sports but also love shopping. Typical girly girl really. I laugh a lot and smile a lot :D
Always up for gaining new experiences and meeting people from different cultures. It's so much more fun and fascinating to have foreign friends :)

I also love animals, I have a dog myself and they are amazing companions. I also enjoy horse riding and when I'm older, I'd like to own a goat.

PHILOSOPHY

I think I live two lives and sometimes, just sometimes I wish I could be more normal and have one! I have two sets of friends; orienteers and non-orienteers. I cant drink all the time and party all the time and eat crappy foods all the time as I'm an athlete. When I let my hair down though, I really do let it go loose! I do love having fun and life wouldn't be the same without laughter :D hahahaaaa :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When living in Stockholm in '09 & '10 I enjoyed going to events happening in Stockholm and co-organised one with a friend before. I would like to CS in Lithuania and Hungary. I also am looking to meet new friends around where I live and go out for coffee and trying out some different hobbies, open to any suggestions.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in two different places in Gothenburg during the Summer 10 with 3 of my friends. Both were positive and fun experiences.
I then surfed in Brussels with 2 of my friends in October 10 and had an amazing time, best experience yet :D
Have met some people over coffee/beer which was cool too :)
I want to travel more and meet new CS friends

Interests

I am so passionate about Orienteering and its like my life! I represent Great Britain and have done since I was 14. I train everyday and just love it. I have taken 2 years out of studies just to focus on Orienteering.
It is stereotyped as a boring and geeky sport and thats its not real as it isnt in the Olympics! I always debate why it isnt so if you would like to know, ask! Therefore you may presume I'm geeky but not at all :)

I'm really interested in fashion and second hand shopping. I love my mascara. I like indulging in yummy foods, especially curry, I enjoy making these too. Baking, yes I like that too, I'm always making treats and meals :)

I also enjoy just pure running and jogs so if you are looking for a running buddy, I'm your girl!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have watched many movies before and think this is a great way to chill out. I will watch anything and especially love watching the classic disney films!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Racing a transporter ship on the frozen sea in Stockholm last Christmas. It obviously won by a large margin. Soo sureal!
