Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My current mission is to travel around Europe for the summer after finishing working in the Alps. Along with my trusty co-pilot JoJo and automobile Big Bertha, we hope to visit as many places as we can and have as many adventures as possible along the way
ABOUT ME
I am Scottish with brown hair and blue eyes! I love travelling and meeting new people, learning about different cultures and picking up bits of the language along the way. Also trying all different kinds of food mmm ... especially finding the best peanut butter and things to put it with! I love wandering around markets, spying vintage clothes, jewellery and furniture. Also really enjoy a good bit of sporting activity - cycling, snowboarding and swimming are some of my favourites. Travelling around Europe at the moment with my friend Jojo and our trusty motor vehicle Big Bertha. We would very much appreciate any couch surfing available in Portugal at the moment.
PHILOSOPHY
A lot of laughter, adventures, open mindedness and fun. Also like going back to my Scottish roots and bringing out my alter ego Margaret every so often!
