ABOUT ME

Currently studying for a Masters and when I'm not doing that i work for Oxfam trying to try to change the world ;) I like those moments when something, a landscape, thought, song or memory stops you in your tracks.

PHILOSOPHY

The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Fairly new to couchsurfing but love the idea. I am keen to meet new and interesting people, especially from different places, cultures, languages (I know everyone says this - but I guess its the reason we're all here!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but hopefully will have some fantastic experiences on my next trip (Iceland!) to report back on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing things I've seen and done have been when traveling. Mint tea in Tangier, whiskey in the Western Isles, sangria in Seville. Every moment has the potential to be the most amazing one with the right mind set.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will happily argue the time away with people until we discover some deeper meaning of the world. I'm always learning from other people and hopefully they can learn something from me too :)
