CURRENT MISSION

Live ~ Learn ~ Love ~ Laugh

ABOUT ME

I´m a chirpy lass from a small old town called Skipton in Yorkshire.

Currently I am travelling through the America´s and Asia on a ten month trip. Which to this point has been pretty damn good.

Before I left home I was working in recruitment, although my studies were in music management.

I am open-minded and enjoy immersing myself in different cultures, exploring new places, making new friends and broadening my horizons.

I have a high level of personal hygeine and always keep my room tidy!

Laughing is one of my favourite things and I like to do it as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would like to be treated.

I am respectful and have good manners. I despise ignorance and arrogance and think that the world would be a nicer place if we could all exchange a smile a little more often.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whilst travelling I would really appreciate the opportunity to be welcomed into the home of a local or resident to gain a greater understanding of the place I am in and its culture. In return I can offer an insight into my culture, share experiences and do the dishes!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to the Couchsurfing phenonomen

Interests

Besides travelling, I enjoy socialising, dining out, live music, hanging out with friends and family and I am not adverse to the odd tipple or two.

I love tattoo´s and have a few myself. I enjoy going to tattoo conventions and checking out designs and other peoples artwork.

I like to visit national parks and areas where there is nature and wildlife, but I also like to explore cities.

Oh, and I like dogs.

Music, Movies, and Books

At home I don´t watch movies very often but if I do I like a comedy or a horror - Or anything touched by Tim Burton or Quentin Tarrantino.

The last book I read was ´Catcher in the Rye´ which I thought was a really good read - Who wouldn´t find Holden Caulfield endearing?
I love Irvine Welsh´s books, once you get used to the scottish narrative their highly entertaining.
Autobiographies always keep me quiet too, from Stuey Ungar to Sharon Osbourne - Courtney Love to John Lydon.

And music, I love music. I appreciate all forms and genres - I don´t like all music but I appreciate the time, effort and passion thats gone into making a piece of music.
Some of my favourite artists are - Bjork, Daft Punk, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Roses, Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, Hole, You Me At Six.......

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Machu Picchu was pretty special, as was canoeing in the rain forest and trekking in the jungle.

Also, meeting the Arctic Monkeys, The Cribs, The Zutons and Dirty Pretty Things all in one day was quite cool too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I´d like to learn more recipes, more about spiritualism, more languages and maybe how to become a professional piercer.

I can teach you some good old Yorkshire phrases!
