CURRENT MISSION

To live a full a life as possible and help people smile along the way.

ABOUT ME

Writing about yourself is always weird! I Good points... I'm kind, generous, up for a laugh, I'm a psychiatric nurse... so it's unlikely you can shock me haha! Love meeting new people and learning about new cultures. I enjoy seeing what different places have to offer and getting to know the people in them!

I love to give as much as I can, even if it's just a smile. Sometimes it's about the little things.

My friend told me about couch surfing and I thought it would be a cool way to meet new people and share ideas, conversation etc!

I've started learning French again and it's rather fun!

PHILOSOPHY

You get out of life what you put in... kind of goes for everything really!

Show gratitude for what you already have and you will find more things to be thankful for!

Random acts of kindness make the world a better place... I recently gave a random guy in the queue in front of me the extra £1.30 he needed to buy his coffee as he didn't have enough!

I also believe that we should have a common respect for all the other souls we share this amazing planet with. We are all connected in some shape or form!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mainly host, never surfed... yet!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few of times now and it's been really fun! I've met some really cool people and new friends! :D

Interests

I love to run, it helps clear my head!.. did my first marathon in Barcelona this year and it was epic! I sometimes make my own clothes, I like cooking and trying new things from my recipe books. Love travelling to new places and already been to Iceland and Barcelona (to run the marathon!) and Paris this year! Love animals, seeing friends, sharing, laughing, books, meditation, the sound of violins, ceilidhs, films, rock climbing, gigs... too much to list!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies... I'm becoming more of a fan of foreign films recently but still love my chick flicks haha!

Music... I have such an odd collection of tunes on my ipod! From cheesy pop crap to dance, electric to old school ACDC. When I'm out I like anything you can dance to!

Books... love books! They help take you off into another world and fill you with insipiration.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eeeeeeeeeeep, I have to pick one! Hmmm.. well when I was in Goa for my birthday in January 2009 I left my passport in a travel shop 60km away from my hotel and I noticed on the last night of my trip!Luckily one of the locals I'd befriended drove me on the back ofhis bike and I got to see the beautiful night sky and experience the feeling of fun/terror of his crazy driving on Goa's crazy roads! And seeing the cows sun bathing on ths beach was also cool!

I also got to see the Northern lights on my birthday this year in Iceland... amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about Scottish culture and some doric phrases (North East dialect) improve your English, share experiences and opinions over dinner, tea and conversion and can show you how to cook healthy food from my many recipe books! I'm vegan, I'm convinced I can surprise you!

I'd love to know about life where you're from, I'm learning French so if you're able to help me improve I'd be your new best friend!
