CURRENT MISSION

Be happy :) and bring happiness to others

ABOUT ME

Meet me and find out :P
hmmm well I'd describe myself as a positive person! I'm upbeat but I'm pretty chilled too! I'm more of a listener than a talker but I like both :) I actually think I'm addicted to travelling and meeting new people, I never want to go home haha I'm having too much fun.

PHILOSOPHY

So cliche but... If you don't challenge yourself, you won't change yourself. Get out of your comfort zone!
And if you're not happy, then change your life :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really want to host, but I rent a room (I get it pretty cheap) in a family home and they don't want people they don't know staying there (they don't get CS :P) So its not my home, I can't ask them to change their ways, they're being very nice to let me stay as it is!! Which is a pity though as I'd love to host... maybe when I get my own place in the future!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had much formal experience with couchsurfing... I tend to just wander around and meet people and sometimes they offer to let me stay :) I'm very easy going, and I like to be spontaneous, I don't do much forward planning 😛! I first met a lot of CSers in London, had a fun time in the park with a load if CSers at an open skills share (learnt to tightrope walk) and went to the pub a few times, and to the theatre! It was brilliant... Sharing your experiences makes travelling so much more fun! I spent a weekend in Amsterdam and couch surfed with a wonderful guy named David, also stayed with a great guy in Prague, who saved my ass last minute! Everyone I've met has been so so lovely, its wonderful meeting like minded people and fellow travellers :)
