About Me

I graduated from uni with a literature degree and the crushing realisation I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. This year I've discovered that sitting on the beach reading has mainly inspired me to travel. It's the only definite answer I have when anybody asks me about the future.

i have been travelling for a little over a year now with no intention of stopping! i met Troy boy, my boyfriend, in the netherlands a few months ago and we are continuing our journey together.

ive been lucky enough to get involved with volunteer projects, so I get invited to live with all sorts of crazy people! I always thought you needed to have a lot of money to travel, but proving myself wrong has meant living in some amazing places with like minded people :)

I used to be able to host,but I'm couch surfing myself at the moment, for the foreseeable.. . I want to meet people who can teach me languages, eat loads of food with me and have long talks about all sorts of bullshit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

well to meet locals obviously!

******PLEASE BE AWARE***** this is NOT a tinder profile. Some people use couchsurfing as a way to hook up. I am NOT. I want a genuine host who isn't going to try any funny business or come into my room after I've said goodnight. If you think you are owed sex (or anything at all for that matter) by the travelers you take in, you should not be on couchsurfing. I will also no longer hesitate to point this out in a reference too. Female travelers are entitled to a safe and comfortable couch if you have offered them one. I expect hosts to respect this. I have unfortunately had some bad experiences and I refuse to not use couchsurfing because of some ignorant individuals.

I want to meet new people and I want to learn languages more than anything now that I've finished my degree. Spanish and French are where I'm focussing but I'm always intrigued to pick up any new phrases from any language!

Interests

Reading solves a lot of life's problems. I've started writing a little too.

Hooping! I love circus performance and having a boogy with my hula hoops, and have been at festivals and parties as a fire performer. I love street performing and get busking in any town I'm lucky enough to visit :) want to get doing workshops for kids too! I'm also slowly leaning to juggle (with an english degree its important to have a back up plan... running away to a circus is mine)

I want to learn as many languages as I can cram into my brain.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Van life with my two a favourite amigos, making street shows with hoops and dub music in Granada by day, taking to the town to dance and east falafel at night. Beautiful place, beautiful people <3

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach circus skills for anyone who's willing to practise and okay with the occasional head injury. Everyone loves playing with fire and I'd be happy to share that too.
I really want to pick up some music stuff again anyone that can teach me the twelve bar blues on the piano will be helping me cross of a thing from my bucketlist. If anyone is musically orientated and wants to join me on some busking quests this would be amazing fun :)
I vow to always bring food to any host that will have me. and wine.
