CURRENT MISSION

To meet give everyone in the world a big fat smile...I hope I can meet them all?

ABOUT ME

Hmm, what to say...
I suppose what is most relevant to you, if you are considering me in your home, is I CAN COOK!
I am very happy and easy going but I keep to myself unless I'm around people who really ignite me and then I'm a different story all together, can't shut me up or calm me down.
I am not religious but I respect all religions and I have an open mind.
I have lived in shared houses since I was 16 so I know very well how to take care of myself and keep out of everyone's way when needed.
Im caring and generous and love to really get to know the people I meet.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy...

For me the most important people in this world is your friends and family, of course.
I live my life by Truth, Equality and Respect.
I give as much as I can of these things to everyone I come across and try to see the world from many aspects and understand the perspective of others.

I suppose I just believe in being good, happy and by doing so I hope it is an encouragement for others to aspire to the same simple goal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I cook as I said, 8 years of experience does not go astray when rustling up some dinner.
Cleaning is not so much a chore for me, more of an activity I use as an excuse to sing and dance by myself.
I love kids and animals so if the dog needs walking or the kids need quieting, Im always more than happy.
Anything I can do or give to others is always on offer from me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first 'Couch Surfing' attempt but in my years of share houses I have housed many many guests and stray travelers in my home, or on the porch or in the hammock or in the van or a tent... wherever we can fit them in...and it's always a grand experience. Sometimes bad but mostly good and fun.
I love to meet new people but it will be an entirely new experience for me to be the guest and not the host...daunting! I am a pro at hospitality, but I think I am as fun and well behaved as my most favourite guests from the past years.

Interests

I love photography and it is my main hobby.
Sadly I have been traveling months without my cameras...I'm into film shots, not so much the digital stuff.
I love to develop my own photos and just muck around with different ideas I have.
Reading and writing is how I keep myself sane and music is my passion. I love music and I love all kinds of music but I can't stand country music or cheap pop.

I'm never sure what to say about interests, I mean, almost everything interests me, things I don't even know if I'm interested in until I come across it.
I live life like a child and every experience is new and fresh so Im interested in life, i suppose?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just living, every day is amazing.
Sounds stupid, I know... but it's true and I'm a little tired of filling this out.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm, I can teach a lot of things and I want to learn EVERYTHING, im a little sponge.
I can teach people how to knit squares or rectangles, nothing too complex...
Hang on...let me channel Napoleon Dynamite for a moment...

I have cooking skills, massage skills, hula hooping skills, palm reading skills...card playing skills, laughing skills, flexibility skills, fire twirling skills, riding a bike with no hands, pig latin, shoe lace tying, clapping with one hand (TRUE) and maybe these are all the skills I have...I don't know.

I want to learn anything that's fun and enjoyable, i want to learn any language you speak and I just want to learn....hahaha.
I am teaching myself Spanish at the moment, probably my favourite language. I would like some help though.
