CURRENT MISSION

to see as much of the States in 3 months as possible!

ABOUT ME

My boyfriend Dave and I have just got back from 3 months in America and met some great people through CSing so are now looking forward to returning the favor!
I'm a student about to begin a degree studying Media, Culture and Society, and Dave is a deputy administrator for a heating company.
I'm also a vegetarian who doesn't have a problem being around people eating meat so long as they're not trying to convince me to eat it (trust me, it won't work!)
My main concern at home is saving up for the next trip and having time to fit in everything I want to do, on a daily basis this includes writing, (either blogging, feature, debate or news writing) studying, socializing and some other sort of hobby, all the time while trying to earn some money too.

PHILOSOPHY

Work to live, don't live to work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By offering a roof to new and interesting people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not that much so far, only stayed at one or two people's houses, pretty new to the game really.

Interests

Laura: writing, some politics, dance, reading, new york, exploring, trying new things, decorating (if you need anything painting while we're with you!), animals, etc etc.
Dave: music, socializing, history and culture, meeting new people and seeing new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like biographies of interesting people, books that have been made into films before i've seen the films (to then compare) and anything that's got a good review or has personal interest to me. Dave's more of a movie guy than a book guy, between us we like comedy, action, thinky films and anything worth a watch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived off almost zero income to put all my money away for this trip, I think that's a bit of an achievement!
Really want to see some amazing things that take your breath away, swimming with dolphins was pretty incredible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn more about American politics, and really like good conversations on culture or media speculations.
