CURRENT MISSION

To escape the 9-5 and join the new rich

ABOUT ME

I'm a young at heart female, originally from South Wales in the UK but have a house in Cornwall (South West England) where i have family. I have lived in a few different countries including Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and France. I used to lice in London but escaped the rat race fortunately! I graduated from Reading University with a degree in International Business and French (spent 1 year studying in Paris). I spent the subsequent years in different jobs and mixed in a bit of travel to Australia, India, South Africa, USA And interailing Europe. I love to travel and i'm a bit of a Nomad, i enjoy learning about new cultures and languages - and local cuisine! I worked in the film industry for a few years in London which was exciting but not really in my heart of hearts what i wanted to do. My aim after leaving film has been to have more time for myself and see more of the world. I enjoy good company, conversation and a good laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

One life, live it :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined couchsurfing.com in 2010 and have widely traveled with lots of people and lived in house shares for about 8 years so i'm very well versed in respecting other people's space and homes. I have lived with people from all over the globe, the best house i lived in was in Cornwall, Uk with some people from Albania, South Africa and France, we were all characters, everyone was themself with respect for others and we had such a great time. I am still very close friends with those people today. I have lived in Argentina, New Zealand, Australia and France also.
