About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Rolling the dice on life and hoping for snake eyes.

ABOUT ME

I am super outgoing, friendly, funny (I think), have a cackle of a laugh and love to have a good time/trying a new hobby or ANYTHING new...I am incurably curious about the world and what it has to offer!

Love meeting new people, can chat for hours though am just trying to learn from others experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Regrets are a bitch, and no one likes a bitch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Starting now, and wish I would have been doing this for years - have heard such good things, can't wait to meet new people and see how it goes!

Interests

Wow, where to even start...I think a list will do: Travelling (Im obsessed and would personally enjoy being a nomad the rest of my life), cooking (pretty darn good if I say so myself), sports - watching (ANY) and playing (ANY) - specifically; basketball, soccer, wake boarding, snowboarding/skiing also I am super competitive, so if you are to - bring it on! I love to go to art galleries, museums, out to new restaurants, exercising, anything outdoors, dancing/pubs/clubs and of course having a laugh.

Music, Movies, and Books

I.Love.Music. After living with a DJ from Brussels for 3 years, I have a WIDE range of taste - plus London has about every type of music venue you could imagine. Drum and Bass, Electro, Techno, Alternative, Indie, Folk, Acoustic, House the list keeps going! Though being from the USA I still have a soft spot for hip hop/rap.

Im an avid reader of world news, new scientist, gossip crap and books on evolution.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well currently my top favorite places I have been to are; Iceland - seeing the Northern Lights was probably the coolest thing ever, I could watch those again and again - just spectacular!! Istanbul - amazing architecture, culture and food. Berlin (love the Berliner Dom) and all the history behind this city plus the underground night life is cray.

Personally I completed a 32K Adventure Run for my 25th birthday in Clifden, Ireland with my younger brother - that was one of the hardest, yet more invigorating things I have done. I have also gone skydiving (not bungee yet - a little out of order perhaps) and moved to London (still best city /will always be my home from home) completely by myself to complete a Masters degree (as wanted to travel and not get a real job at the time...lets call it 'recession').

Lastly, I think having the opportunity to travel the world (esp. this upcoming trip) meeting people from every culture, religion, background - has broadened my eyes and mind to the endless possibility called - Life.
