ABOUT ME
Really tall... I like trying to make people laugh. Love talking to strangers, especially in random places like public transport! The nice strangers, of course. Really excited about travelling again!
I like dressing up in funny clothes.
Love anything with bright colours.
I went to Brazil last year for 6 months; taught English for 4 months in Parana, then travelled for 2 months (also went to the Carnaval in Rio!!). Love travelling, what I know of it.
I'm travelling all around Europe for a month with 2 other girls, Rosie and Rachael, and we're starting in Brussels for the Rock Werchter Festival at the beginning of July and finishing in Barcelona for a week from the end of July...
-Brussels
-Berlin
-Prague
-Vienna
-Ljubliana
-Split/Hvar... anywhere in Croatia
-Venice
-Barcelona
Oh yeah and I play Ultimate Frisbee!!!
Rosie and Rachael are also fun-loving, outgoing, down-to-earth people with a great sense of humour... they like to do the cultural stuff as well as the party side of things, and as they both study Philosophy they like an interesting discussion!
(and they play frisbee, therefore they must be pretty cool...)
PHILOSOPHY
I'm a relaxed, laidback person and won't let myself take anything too seriously. I just like to have fun!
Interests
Going out and dancing and drinking
Travelling
Music (everything, but especially pop or anything you can dance to)
Internet...
Frisbee!
Cooking and eating vegetarian food even though I'm not vegetarian...
Dancing around and making a fool of myself
Socialising
Making things. Making lists... Can you tell?
Salad nicoise, taramasalata, chocolate, (never any of these together!)

Music, Movies, and Books
Superbad, Juno, Knocked Up, Team America... generally comedies. Or indie films - they're more interesting, like The Squid & The Whale (it's not a cartoon or anything!), etc.
Pop/dance music and lots of others.
Basement Jaxx, Amy Winehouse, The Strokes, Dizzee Rascal... lots of stuff.
Books: 'Yes Man' or 'Join Me' by Danny Wallace (same philosophy as this website! Say YES more!)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Been to the Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro, one of the best weeks of my life.
My favourite night was when 30 of us went out for a pizza, went home and got drunk, then at 2am we decided to get taxis to Lapa and go and party!
Teach, Learn, Share
I haven't seen much of the world, so at this point in time I really want to learn as much as possible!!
I can teach Ultimate Frisbee! Google it if you haven't heard of it.
I can also help with English - I was teaching it last year - or general language help (French, Portuguese).
