CURRENT MISSION

Meet at least one person from every country in the world (it's a slow process)

ABOUT ME

I'm a bit of an introverted extrovert (does that even make sense?) I really, really enjoy meeting new people and listening to their stories, but some days I would just rather lie in bed and read a book than have a conversation with anyone. I'm a little bit shy, and as a result I make terrible puns (don't worry, I won't kick you out if you don't laugh)but once I warm up I like to think of myself as quite the conversationalist.

PHILOSOPHY

They say the world started out with a big bang. But, what I wonder is, was it a big bang, or did it just seem big because there was nothing else to drown it out at the time?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed in the USA twice, with great people, and would really like to host surfers now that I'm back in South Africa!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience has been great! I have met some awesome people, and hope to meet many more!

Interests

I love to read, run, cycle and watch loads of movies (I quote them a lot too) if it makes me laugh, I love it (hello, British comedians)

Music, Movies, and Books

Harry potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, all fantasy stuff! Mumford and Sons, Florence + the machine and Lana del Rey, Foster the people, muse, offspring.
Does it sound good? I like it. Will it make me laugh? It's probably awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

It's so hard to know what to write! Do I tell you how I know that the little piece on the end of your shoelace is called an aglet? You'll never remember that, so here's a funny:
Fish don't blink, right, so if you're trying to take the eye out of a fish and it blinks, it may actually be a lion.
