This profile is old, a lot has changed. But it's interesting to look back at what I said at 19. Unfortunately i don't really have time to chamge it I'm on a bus to Belfast and would love somewhere myself and Dan could crash tonight. Before picking a car up tomorrow and heading north to camp.

CURRENT MISSION

Balance work and studying while reaching the slopes as often as possible.

ABOUT ME

Until recently my life was school and as much kayaking as possible so other than school that was great fun. After finishing school I had a summer sailing and kayaking when I could, and thoroughly enjoying my job I worked for a company called Dr Zigs blowing gigantic bubbles (I suggest anyone reading this checks them out www.doctorzigs.com) After the summer my life changed dramatically and very quickly, I had a phone conversation with someone I'd never met before in early November and within the week I moved to Switzerland where I'm now based. I work as an au pair looking after 4 children between the ages of 1 and 7 it's great most of the time! From here I would like to see more of the continent, experience new things and ski as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

The main hint below this box that jumps out at me as I fill it in is 'why do you live your life?' To enjoy as many minutes of every day as I can.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I wish I could say I participate by offering to host, unfortunately living with my employer stops this as a possibility for now, instead I hope to surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only a party at a friends farm with 30+ couch surfers.

音乐、电影和书籍

Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy (radio series and book, not the film) has to be my favorite read.
Music... simply lots of it.
I'm not too bothered about films, I enjoy sitting down with a friend and chilling out after a long day, and then I'm not overly fussy about what's on.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I spent three weeks kayaking in France when I was 17 with 2 guys, one I'd met a couple of times, the other was a new face to me when we picked him up on the way to the ferry. The entire trip cost us just over £200 each we camped or slept under the stars by the car, never stayed on a campsite and made eating as cheap as we could. It was great, my kayaking improved and I grew up that little bit more. I will always be grateful to Anton for this opportunity.

教，学，和分享

I have a share that I would aim to take to any new place I go, and that would be giant bubbles, they help spread smiles and that's reason enough for them to make my bag that little bit heavier.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Hopefully some good stories, recently I paddles 900km around Sardinia so that's given me some things to say. But I'd like to know about my hosts too.
