About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do as the Romans do. Or the Austrians. Or the French. Or the English. It´s all relative to where you're travelling at the time

ABOUT ME

I moved to London about a year ago to work, travel, and gain general life experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Me and my friends stayed with some really nice/helpful people last summer throughout eastern europe. Since then we've had several people stay in our london flat, usually in groups of 4 or more from crazy cool countries... it's always been a guaranteed laugh-a-minute verging on ridiculous experience, especially because we're all sharing rooms as it is to save money so the house is packed - we're pretty much our own hostel sometimes!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've learnt more facts through my couch hosts than I'd ever learn from an organised tour - it's definately worth it to get an inside view on cities/countries and I've met some pretty amazing people through the whole ordeal.

Interests

Reading, writing, travelling, eating, dancing, swimming, hot choco-ing, learning, coffee & cake-ing, fun sporting, playing (boardgames, cards and anything that results in general group hilarity), photography, filmography, going out on a whim, not working in london.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most music except for techno and hardcore. Heaps of books...I really enjoy books by j.d salinger, john steinback, f scott fitzgerald, jane austen, james frey, and the guy that wrote Angela's Ashes i like his style. I like if not can appreciate most movies (sometimes only from a film student's perspective) but I'm not such a fan of horror or action.
