About Me

CURRENT MISSION

When you smile about the life you live, you end up living a life worth smiling about.

ABOUT ME

Its a shame I have to add this on this section. But given that people dont read profiles before requesting.

1. I can only host one guest.
2. Since we have to share my room. I'd rather a female surfer but happy to show any other cs'r around london.

Thanks

Hi all
My name is Mary. I am a 25 year old, pretty much a nomad as i've moved around alot for work! Oh Joy!! In the mean time London City is where i lay my head. So if you're as adventurous I'd like to meet ya. I'm down to earth and try to make the most out of life experiences.

I love meeting people with common interest ground. If you are in London or there about feel free to drop an email.

I no longer have the apartment I had in Edinburgh but what I do have a very nice Victorian sized room in East London, so I'd rather have a female surfer.

I have a couch available most weekends and might be able to facilitate weekdays.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is beautiful- make the most of it :)
Treasure every moment for you don't know tomorrow!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted and surfed- Yayy!
If you've ever lived in London, you'll know the housing situation is ridiculous but I've decided to knock down all the reasons why i can't host and start hosting again.

I would like to give back to the community that has enabled me to see part of the world. Couch surfing is incredible- don't get it twisted. it is not a free hotel or hostel but hospitality exchange with Locals.

I think i'm a great host as i treat people as i'd like to be treated. I'm not a clean freak but i do like a very tidy place. :)

Guarantee to make you feel at home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I must confess i've always opted for hotels but will try to be more adventurous this year!

Interests

I like listening to music and I can spend a whole of life watching movies.
I do enjoy cooking. ..safe to say I'm a terrible baker- I've mastered the art of burning all my pastry.

I'm down to earth and keen to enjoy life to the fullest.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies- White house Down. Action comedy etc
Books- John Grisham, The Bible, Dr Cindy Trimm, Chimamanda Adichie

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo travel in Myanmar (Burma) - you have to go if nearby Thailand.

Trotting the historic city of Rome, the experience was surreal and breath taking. Another is when i traveled to Morocco, i walked around the old city "Medina" for approx 5 hours. As the saying goes "when in Rome behave like the Romans." It was truly remarkable.

Live LIFE!

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy people of this world that: create, inspire, give, see, feel, live, enjoy, move, laugh hysterically and add to any given experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Pretty much anything if you dare to spice up your taste-bud, I can make you jerk Chicken & Jollof rice. Google both ;)
