About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible :)

ABOUT ME

I am a laid back, open-minded person who enjoys meeting all kinds of new people.

Sometimes I'm quiet, sometimes I like to chat. I appreciate people for who they are and experiences for what they are. I rarely get bored.

I like to be random and do spur of the moment things.

Just read back through my profile... I think maybe I should add that I'm often cheesy...

My aim in life (or one of them) is to travel to all the countries in the world...

PHILOSOPHY

Slow and steady wins the race! Hahaha... Whatever you want you will get eventually if you just keep on trying : )

Trust in the kindness of strangers!! This is the whole philosophy behind CS in my opinion.

Live your life without worries and regrets.

Be yourself : )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been going to couchsurfing meetings, off and on, for three years now and have met a lot of fantastic people. I have surfed a few place and I am also just starting to host people, which I'm enjoying so far :) I want to host people from every country in the worlD. Here is a map of the different countries I have hosted people from...

Music, Movies, and Books

I love silly comedies like Just Friends and Knocked Up but I also like other kinds of movies including Tarantino, Fight Club, some horror films (even though they scare me!)

Music - all! Indie, rock, pop, dance, hip hop, classical, punk. Just depends what kind of mood I am in.

I love reading classic authors such as Hunter S.Thompson, Jack Kerouac etc. Like sci-fi, fantasy. I'm loving James Frey at the minute. Pretty much anything really.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done lots of ridiculous things looking back but nothing that stands out as AMAZING!...lol. I think life is amazing and every day should be about having fun.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in learning anything anyone has to teach me. I'm interested in politics, peoples general life philosophies, new music, art, whatever. Also, teach me some new jokes! I have a real love for languages and have been trying to teach myself French since I was about 10. Any help with this would really be welcome :)

I don't know what I have to teach people but tell me about yourself and I will find some common ground. I suppose I can teach you to cook badly...

I can share my life, my beer, my time, my stories.
