ABOUT ME

The real world didn't work for me, so I voluntarily went back to school. Grad school in the UK to study Creative Writing. It's not something you need a degree in, but it was either that or spend another year working at Starbucks. So here I am, in Hull of all places, still working on being published and writing a best selling novel. During the holidays from school, I plan to do more traveling around Europe, looking for adventure (as I suppose everyone is when you get down to it).

PHILOSOPHY

I live for art, or more specifically, for writing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No CouchSurfing experiences yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I'd love to meet people, even if just for an afternoon coffee.

Interests

Aside from traveling (which is a given), I love collecting quotes from movies, books, songs, and just in passing. I love the summer because I can walk barefoot, but I'll choose autumn and winter over the heat any day. I like changing my hair around a lot, so if you see me one month, it may be entirely different the next. I'm not a big fan of the States, but I love the different license plates each state has. I think European history is fascinating. I would have music playing all day every day, and yet I hate walking around plugged into my iPod. You miss so much that way.
