CURRENT MISSION

To get the most out of life

ABOUT ME

Hiii,

I'm Michelle, I'm 21 and I like travelling :)

I'm Scottish but I moved to Dubai when I was just a few months old then stayed in the middle east for 6 years.

This means that I don't really know what to say when people ask me "where are you from?" but I usually say Moffat, a small town near the border of Scotland, which I moved to when I was 10 and where my mum still lives.

I also spent a year in Mauritius but now I live in Stirling where I'm studying :D

RIGHT NOW however I'm in Geneva on an erasmus exchange and I'll be here until the end of June.

Basically my life is pretty hectic right now, for the past 3 years I haven't been in the same place for more than 6 months and I won't be settling down anytime soon either. This basically makes is impossible for me to host but I've kept my profile in the hope that one day I have a place which will properly be my own :)

Happy Travels y'all

PHILOSOPHY

"when I go from hence let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable"
- Rabindranath Tagore

By far my favorite, needs no explanation really

Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” Miriam Beard

Another favourtie is simply "Live and let live"

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to use Couchsurfing to surf, hopefully next summer. As for hosting I've done it before but I can't now because I'm back in student accommodation for the coming academic semester sooo...sorry about that.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only ever actually hosted once! was fun though :)

I've surfed once too and it was a great experience.

Music: Indie, Acoustic, Reggae, Dance, House...well a lot of stuff really. Cliché yes, True yes.

Books: I like history, romantic, travel and the classics. Also memoirs and books about the middle east - just a topic of interest to me.
