CURRENT MISSION

See as much of the world as possible

ABOUT ME

So...I am currently living in San Francisco but originally from London. I have dual nationality so thought it was about time to have some fun with it.
I am never happy than when learning or seeing something new; and this couch surfing malarkey sounds like the perfect way to do it! Having moved to SF has reignited my travel bug and desire to meet new people and see how different people live. I really love meeting new people- especially those with a dry SOH (I'm sorry, I'm British through and through...)
What else can I tell you? My background is in the nonprofit sector, I grew up in South East London, have lived in Canada, South Africa and New York and I love cooking and trying cuisines from around the world (attempting to recreate them with often limited success).

PHILOSOPHY

Hmmm... I am not sure I would call it a philosophy but having recently moved on a whim, knowing absolutely no one, I would say: life is short, change is good and laughter is always the best medicine.

Music? I love anything live and like bluegrass, alt rock, folk, acoustic, bit of pop (sorry)...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spoke to Gwyneth Paltrow on the phone (claim to fame...)

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to learn another language (can we do it in one night?!), especially sign language.
I can sew a bit and knit...I'm sure I have other skills. I have a 'working knowledge' of the nonprofit sector and of London & UK.
