About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to get off the conveyor belt of life!

ABOUT ME

I would definitely describe myself foremost as all intelligence and no common sense. I have no idea how I’ve ended up working as a scientist when I can barely strew together a decent meal for one without some kitchen mishap befuddling me. I do believe though in attempting every challenge and now that my university chapter of life is finally closing I’m on the lookout for something exhilarating but I have absolutely no idea where to direct my attention towards! I would say I’m very hard to pin down and lack focus in most aspects of my life because I’m very excitable and play with ideas like a bad game of poker. I loved my 3 years in York but find London to be a far livelier city that you MUST MUST visit. I would say that I stay fairly true to my hair colour and will ask questions constantly but you can just tell me to shut up :)

PHILOSOPHY

Manners manners manners! And before you judge put yourself in the shoes of the other person, think what they are thinking...but usually I forget this and life ends up doing it for me

Confidence is the key to many things

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing Virgin-ish

Interests

Currently I am chasing many whimsical fantasies such as helicopter flying, motorbike riding and am looking for a place abroad where I can learn to dive.
London is amazing for art and theatre and I am an avid reader (Neil Gaiman my bobbbly hat off to you)
I see myself as a country girl at heart therefore getting out and about in the country with the dog is something I very much enjoy.
I am currently very much enjoying being a tourist in my own city but pretty soon I think it will be time to move on to others.
