Overview
About Me
I am a friendly, caring person with an open mind and a good sense of humour.
I love travelling and am currently making my way through SE Asia :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet people :)
Interests
I would class myself as a massive foodie. I love eating out and trying different types of cuisine. I am also massively into film and try to keep up with new releases as well as checking out old classics. Photography is a passion. I love to capture special moments and the beauty in people, places and objects. I have recently purchased an SLR which is my new favourite toy.
I love travelling and experiencing different cultures, appreciating the similarities and differences within people, exploring the wilderness, exchanging stories and forming strong connections.
I also enjoy theatre, the arts, dancing and being in the company of those I love.

Music, Movies, and Books
I have so many favourites when it comes to movies! The LOTR series, Quentin Tarantino classics such as Pulp fiction, Inglorious Basterds. I also love Al Pacino and love his film Scent of a Woman. Old girly classics are also on the list, such as Dirty Dancing and Pretty Woman.
Favourite books: It's been a while since I completed a book, but I love A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.
Music - I can appreciate pretty much anything - music is a beautiful thing.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Skydiving in 2011 was a pretty awesome experience. I managed to raise £1200 for East Africa through the event.
Volunteering in an orphanage in Cambodia earlier this year was also a thoroughly rewarding experience & something I would like to do again.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love learning, sharing experiences and stories and also have some wisdom to impart of my own :) I am fluent in 3 languages & also knowledgeable in alternative therapies.
