CURRENT MISSION

Say yes to as much as possible

ABOUT ME

Very energetic; I have short 'freaky' hair and love to dance, in my bedroom, in the street, anywhere. My dancing is erratic and mostly consists of jumping up and down. I love travelling, love volunteers, will always go out of my way to help people, and like people who don't take themselves seriously.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm open minded - anything goes, as long as you can persuade me of its merit! Mostly I have faith in humanity, and that people can achieve great things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love travelling, and my favourite part is meeting people and learning about their culture and ways of life. It makes the experience so much more real and alive. And boy have i learnt a lot! I'm in Spain, doing voluntary work, and also travelling as much as possible. I can't host people much at the mo, but I do when I can.

Interests

Reading, friends, music, dancing foolishly, long distance running, amateur dramatics, volunteering, working with young people, arty films, ancient history, debating life, politics, war, religion, the meaning of life - I enjoy a good argument!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

visited 38 states (16.8%)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm attempting to learn Catalán/Valenciano at the moment, so anyone who can help me out with that would be amazing!
Also I've always wanted to know more about bike mechanics - i hate having a bike and knowing nothing about how it works.
My French is also very rusty, so I would love to be able to practice with someone, although I don't have much confidence.
