About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be happy and enjoy life

ABOUT ME

I'm easy-going (well, everyone says that, right?), sarcastic and talkative. I am a terrible cook though, but I can entertain people with jokes and stories...so it's not all bad. I like deep discussions but I can be extremely silly too; I refuse to act my age.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm still working on this- I'm sure I'll develop a philosophy of my own in time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Umm... currently by surfing only!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only couchsurfed with people I've met whilst travelling- they always seem a little surprised to find me months after they met me, standing at their doorstep with a bag of dirty laundry.
I have also hosted quite a few lovely people. Some have become incredibly close friends.

Interests

I'm a total music freak- I'll spend hours listening to the piles of CD's I have. I also love reading and get very attached to my books, so book swaps are totally not for me. Besides that, obviously travelling, and all that goes along with it- photography and meeting all sorts of wonderful people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
