CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much as I can before entering the working world

ABOUT ME

Lets see, what to say about me, Born in Sweden, but raised in England.

Why am I traveling? Mostly, because it's a lot more fun that staying in one place, and if you're doing it right, you'll learn a thing or two along the way, and there's never anything wrong with that.

I'm currently a Games Design student at Staffordshire University, so I'm using what little money that affords me in the most practical way possible, by traveling.

I love seeing new places and people, and having been abroad a few times I decided this summer was the time to finally see my own country, be traveling along the south coast, and Wales if I get the time. As I do every summer, I'll be taking some time to go visit Sweden.

Before starting Uni I spent a year living over there, most of the time was spent volunteering in a small Fair Trade shop.

PHILOSOPHY

If life's not fun, then you're not doing it right.

Go for what you want to, there's almost never a real reason not to, just ones we make up.

Both of these were most likely said by more intelligent, worldly and witty people than me, and probably an amalgamation of various phases, but their origins long since lost to my mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

From September I'll be moving into a new place where I go to university in Stafford, the couch there will be open to stay on, but you want to go through my friend Rachel to see about staying there. http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/rachel_wanderlust/

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but hopefully my first one will be in a week or two

Interests

Anything and Everything really, Music, Reading, Games, Story telling, Pretty Pictures. What can I say, I'm happy and easily pleased, makes life more fun if everything is interesting. Also means the only thing that's boring is not doing anything.
