I love travelling, exploring different cultures and understanding the unique ways that people think. I am enthusiastic about improving my own character and skills and seek contentment and the constant realisation that in the end only peace and kindness can lead to happiness.

I am a vegetarian yet respectful that everyone should make up their own opinion regarding this issue.

PHILOSOPHY: To become an inherently peaceful person and to remember that all concerns and anxieties are based on perspective; to be a loving and generous human being!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, especially those from different cultures and those with new and vibrant perspectives on life.

Interests

Languages- I can speak some French and am currently learning Spanish. I would also like to learn some Italian. I love studying cultures and their histories and religions.

I love music and am currently teaching myself to play the piano and guitar. I enjoy writing poetry and stories inspired by my travels.

I love visiting art galleries and botanical gardens. At home, I enjoy going on picnics with friends when it's sunny or if its raining, watching Fawlty Towers and eating homemade pizza!
