About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet awesome people and experience their part of the world like they do. To make friends, share stories, get inspired, have fun and enjoy life.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, see new places, and meet new people. I'm laid back, easy going, like to soak up the moment and enjoy the little things. I try to go with the flow and not have high expectations, but I do strive to carry out my passions with a purpose and drive. I'm really friendly, I think I can be funny... sometimes? I like to make others laugh. Smiles go a long way :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I'm looking for a couch. But once I get settled I will be happy to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with several different hosts in the UK and all were good experiences. I haven't used couchsurfing for a while, but I'm hoping that changes as I intend to travel more next year.

Interests

I love photography and writing - telling stories, capturing moments, being out in nature and exploring. My professional work is multimedia. When I'm not working I'm creating art and travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music - Thievery Corporation is one of my favourite artists because they combine a lot of world music into their sound.

I like movies that make me think or something silly that makes me laugh.

I'm usually drawn to books about nature and survival. I just finished a book called Vagabonding which offers a lot of useful tips for long-term travel around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Iceland I watched the northern lights wash over the sky from horizon to horizon dancing like a ribbon of pink, white and green water. I had to close my jaw because my teeth were starting to freeze.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a good knowledge of photography and design that I'd be more than happy to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not an amazing cook but I'm not half bad either (I believe a lot of if "boils down" to patience) I'm good with certain dishes and I'm alway happy to make a meal. I have some pretty interesting travel stories that some might find amusing too.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Malta, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
