Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To be bold, courageous, adventurous, excited and exciting. I want to push myself to experience new, different, and inconceivable things! To learn about places, see the sights, wander around, bum about and stay away from paths well tread!
ABOUT ME
Me....This is a tough section. I always say you cant get the feel of somebody from pictures and words. You have to sense them...smell them...feel them (from a safe distance obviously!)...be around them! If I had to use words to describe myself I would say I was happy. I love life. I'm energetic and bouncy and like to be with people. I have a passion to improve. To do. I have ideas that burst from nowhere and abstract thoughts that I want to explore and understand. Basically I am human. I'm open minded and want to discover.....everything!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love to meet new people and share experiences. Welcoming others into my home has been a great way to do this. Likewise, when travelling I've met so many amazing people and shared so much through CouchSurfing. I often speak to the friends I've made across the world and laugh at the times we have shared!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have welcomed several people into my various homes and also taken people for coffee/drinks/meals and for tours of the local area over the past few years.
I had my first real experiences a few years ago when i decided to couch surf across Russia and Mongolia. Spending three months surfing was fantastic and I loved every minute of it!
Interests
I am a keen baker! I love nothing more than being in the kitchen creating. I love to cook and am very concerned about food waste and the environment so always try to use up all my ingredients and make the most of each item. I love to cycle and ride my bike everywhere! I enjoy running and fitness and try to use the gym as much as possible. I love to dance! Be it a boogie around my kitchen, taking a salsa class or going to a club. I like to read and have a passion for film - especially Westerns! And anything art house or indie! I'm really open to new experiences and my interests are far too numerous to list here! Alongside all this I'd also like to adopt any interests you have and learn about them and why you like them!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Taking pleasure in the now is really important to me. I try to make everyday count and find joy in the smallest of things. Everyday is special, to be treasured and made the most of!
Teach, Learn, Share
I speak a little Chinese, can cook and bake delicious things, I know how to sew and salsa, people often say my approach to life is refreshing and interesting. I enjoy talking...chatting about whatever topic comes up. I ask lots of questions and expect honest replies.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Me. My ideas. My thoughts, way of life, experiences. My company and conversation. Myself. I don't have much other than that.
