About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have no mission, to go with the flow and HAVE FUN.

ABOUT ME

I'm uber friendly. I'm a totally reliable party kid with a need to read. If I like you, then I LOVE you. I'm trying to say 'yes' to as many things as I can this year, and release my adventurous side. I like to laugh, and I like people who make me laugh. I love to socialise and make new friends. I think couch surfing is the best idea since sliced bread!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a cliche. Everything that is said about it is totally true. It's too short, you've only got one, its hard, crazy, precious. It doesnt matter what other people think, as long as you are happy, then you can do whatever you like with yours. And I mean to fill mine with the stuff that I want to do, whether you like it or not.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

>>Walked around Paris. It was georgeous. I felt French! My favourite city so far.

>>Climbed a Munro in the Highlands, and when I got above the clouds and looked down at the glens. It was awe-inspiring.

>> Went surfing in Tofino in the fog. And from the fog, in the distance, emerged the tall ships. It was like stepping back 200 years.

>>Went to school in Germany for an exchange week. Met so many new, lovely people with such a beautiful culture.

>> Stood on the river Liffney at night. Dublin was stunning.

>>Went to Disneyland. So underrated.
