I grew up in East London, traveled a lot as a child and have lived in three different countries. Never really did the London thing, I was a workaholic till I traveled South America and decided to move there. Guess I have bit of a travel bug but as I've returned to the uk after 3 years I feel its about time I gave London a proper go! Anyone who likes good food, cheap food, nice wine, house wine, dance music, up for a laugh, seeing bands or just a likable person then gimmie a shout as I'm up for painting the town red, green or blue!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cos its the place to meet all kinds of people from all over the world and grow friendships...couchsurfed while in Peru and even hosted a CS Christmas a few yrs back...but that was through my sis who was a CS. Guess after that I liked the coolness of it all and thought its about time I signed up to that myself!

Interests

Food!! I enjoy anything from a decent pub lunch to a fine dining restaurant...but I love cooking...baking, not so much!
I love scary films, hard to find others to go see them with me, but what can ya do...
I am currently enrolled at Uni to learn German as I lived in Munich for a while and fell in love with the place...so if theres anyone who would like to do a language exchange - das ist perfekt!

Music, Movies, and Books

hard to say, so how about what I dont like...Trance...Electric...I dunno...maybe in a moment I would, but usually i like something that I can have a proper dance to...was born in the 80s, so R&B n HipHip were my thing...or maybe its an east london thing?!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Charity...I did a Two day silence for Cystic Fibrosis, which if you get to know me is SERIOUSLY hard to do!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

love to learn new things, new recipes, languages, dance moves...always thought how cool would it to be to break out into some kinda break-dance with nobody suspecting and blow people away with an awesome routine! ;)
Am open to suggestions...I like to make sure I surround myself with people of likemind...I just like to have fun, share experiences and make cool friends.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking a few of my famous dishes...they all have secret ingredients so you could even benefit from my company! =p
Cleaning...I can be a 'Monica', but also a 'Joey'...just tell me how you like things cleaned or where things go and I dont mind helping out at all!
DIY...I have built a few IKEA things in my time, but I have also put up shelves!
Hopefully a memorable stay and a friend at the end!
