CURRENT MISSION

Exploring myself and exploring South America

ABOUT ME

I like to think I'm laid-back, openminded, and easy to be around. I try to think of others as well as myself! I would like to make a difference in this world, and am on my path of discovering how that might manifest itself.
Having a laugh and having fun with others is v important to me! I'm a v sociable person, though I also love just chilling out.
I'm really into all the arts and love learning new things and discovering new places.
I can be a little slow-moving and take a while to get ready in the morning!

PHILOSOPHY

In God I trust.
Love your neighbour as yourself - or at least try to!
Be grateful for the good things that happen every day.
Never stop learning.
Dare to be different.
Laughter is truly the best medicine!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I first used couchsurfing in Rio de Janeiro, from July - Sept 09, and it was a wonderful way to meet people - a godsend for those who travel on their own! The weekly meetings in Rio were loads of fun - I miss them! Since then I couchsurfed in Florianopolis and in Mendoza, Argentina, and had great experiences with really generous hosts. I'm now meeting couchsurfers in Buenos Aires, where I'm going to stay for a year. Am constantly delighted with what an amazing resource this website is!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I acted in a feature film when I was 9 years old. It was a wonderful, lucky experience and helped to formulate my passion for all things dramatic.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some fun drama games and interesting acting theories.
I can share some wonderful experiences I've had on a spiritual journey that I've started in South America, and how getting closer to God has changed my life.
There are so many things I want to learn!: to play the guitar, to sing better, the history of art.
