About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy the authentic italian experience and get to as many places as possible!

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone, where can I start? I'm currently a student of languages and the most important thing in my life is my experiences, I want to get out there and experience as much as possible! I love learning new languages and being surrounded by new, different cultures. I like to think I'm a sociable person, been working in bars since I was old enough so you could say being social is part of my job, but thats why I love it so much!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is for living, don't hold yourself back!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently travelling but very willing to be a host once I return to the UK!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first time!

Interests

I love my job! Currently working in an Irish bar in the centre of Paris with a great team of people but sadly I have to move on, I want to travel all over the world doing what i love and meeting the same sorts of brilliant, engaging people that I've met here. I love to read, am passionate about cooking, and one of my favourite things to do as a treat is to go to the cinema, doesn't really matter wht sort of film, I love them all!

Music, Movies, and Books

Gotta love a good superhero movie! Just watched Batman and it was AMAZING! My favourite film ever has to be Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, dubious performance from Kevin Costner but I love it nonetheless! I'm a bit of a fantasy geek when it comes to books, my Favourite so far being Game of Thrones, really enjoying seeing it brought to life on the small screen. Music wise I just wish I'd been my age in the 80's! David Bowie is my hero, also a fan of Thin Lizzie, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello. I also appreciate a lot of modern music, though I find it hard to keep up with the charts in France.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Number one would have to be when I went abseiling in the alps, such a good adrenaline rush. Number two would be a fantastic evening I spent with some of my very best friends getting a bit tipsy wandering around the streets in a town called Montecatini Alto in Florence, and finally the most breathtaking thing I have done since being in Paris is sitting on Pont Neuf with good company and a bottle of wine and enjoying the view whilst the sun goes down, when the Tour eiffel lights up it's magical!
