Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have be Coachsurfing a few times before with my father and have been amazied by the kindness and generosity of my hosts. I immediately fell in love the the community linked by this website and now hope it can aid me in my persuit to travel! Although I probably cannot host anyone at the moment, my Father does and I am more then happy to meet up with those of you who are interested in visiting london to help show you those eccentric and quirky bits I love about it. Looking forward to opening up my own home sometime soon so I can meet and host you all!

Interests

I am very open minded and have grown up in London with a very multi-cultural family and community which I love.
I am very easy to get along with.
I love the sun but also the red of autumn.
I love being silly and funny.
I love composing and performing and I write my own music.
I love tasting good vegetarian/vegan food, good wines, good beers.
I love snooker and pool.
I love Yoga and am quite an active and healthily competitive person.
I love cards and board games.
I would consider myself quite a spiritual person with no religion.
I want to find the truth of myself and others.
I am always making new friends.
I love honesty.
I love being worry free.
I love being caring and respectful.

At the moment I am a 21 year old woman travelling alone so I am very safety conscious. Although I am confident about travelling it is also quite a nerve racking thing to do alone. I wish it were different but for this reason I prefer to stay with women or couples.

Travelling for me is not about drinking my nights away and going clubbing every weekend. Of course this can be fun but in moderation. I am more interested in the life of everyday people or those with artistic passions and good creative ideas in anything they choose to pursue.
