Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see as much of the world as I can before I die.
ABOUT ME
I'm a 22 year old lover of all things related to travel and discovery. Seriously, If im not travelling, I'm planning my next journey. I took a year off from university to see Europe, and the travel bug has well and truly bitten hard.
I love art, music, culture, great conversation and I'm always up for an adventure!
PHILOSOPHY
Wherever you are, be there.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Sharing in the amazingly generous community that is couchsurfing!
I had the marvelous luck to be hosted a couple of times in Europe in 2010, and now, I love meeting the random couch surfer at home.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far I've just been hosted, and participated in a few couchsurfing adventures... everytime I am more and more amazed by the generosity and amazingness of the couch hosts/organisers that I meet.
An example: Lucerne, Switzerland, September 2010 - I thought that my confirmation that I was arriving had gone through.. turns out due to a computer error - it hadn't. There I am, turning up on the doorstep of the host I thought was expecting me, only to be met with a blank look of surprise.
To cut a long story short, he let me stay anyway.. and it is this generosity that I want more than anything give back - when I have a place of my own.
Interests
I think foremost it would have to be creativity and all things that branch off it - Art, Music, cooking...
And of course travelling! But that goes without saying right?
- arts
- culture

- rock climbing
Music, Movies, and Books
Almost famous, American Beauty, Life is Beautiful, Love me if you dare, (Anything Disney), Beasts of the Southern Wild, anything Jean-Paul Jeunet...
Hot Chip, Ok Go, Grizzly Bear, Frightened Rabbit, Mumford and Sons, the list goes on...
Markus Zuzak, Ayn Rand, the Harry Potter series...
All thing great.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
So far... it's a close battle between climbing a random mountain in Pamukkale, Turkey with red wine, watching the sunset in a sunshower and contemplating the sheer insignificance of life... and witnessing the end of the Mayan Calendar in 2012 from Tikal, the centre of the Mayan world itself...
