About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to not end up in any more hosiptals due to clumsiness

ABOUT ME

I'm a tea obsessive, i like evenings, but not so much mornings... i love cheese, and brocolli, the two combined is a force to be reckoned with!!
Im vegetarian, my fave colour is purple.

I dont really live anywhere on a permanent basis, i move around according to circumstance and general mood.

my parents live in Rugby. its not the greatest town.

I'm doing a philosophy degree at Warwick Uni, but on an exchange year in Canada at the moment. having a great time but its a bit chilly if you ask me.

my pet hate is liars, so dont bother lying to me- i will find out and then i prob wont react well.

Thinking of being a writer, specifically kids books...cos i am one big kid really. also want to train to be a primary school teacher cos thats a proper job.

I love to travel (why else would i sign up for couch surfin eh?) but i really havent been to enough places yet. Im just getting started.....

PHILOSOPHY

im still trying to work that one out. doing a philosophy degree that hasnt taught me much in the realms of reality, but i think that overall, i just wanna let my hair down and not worry about boring shit like money and bills, and enjoy as much of my life as possible!!! doesnt everyone?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I havent hosted or visited any couch surfers as yet, but i intend to asap, hopefully visiting Montreal soon and New york after that.... and many more places around the world depending on what mood im in.
when i finally get a permanent address, i will host as many surfers as i can!!! i think its a great idea, and a fab way to meet new people and get the best out of travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

...coming soon!!!!

Interests

philosophy-, music, travel, films (not scary ones), cups of tea, lager, giggling uncontrollably at unfunny stuff like the street called "butt hole road" hahahahahahaha

phoning home, decoding e-mails from a drunken grandmother, planning to quit smoking, pondering the notion of becoming a grown up some day, making travel plans, making art for my room, sleeping, singing in the shower, procrastinating, spinning around on office chairs in the library, being intoxicated, looking after peoples kids and then giving them back at the end of the day, making bad jokes, losing at board games, being sarcastic, challenging people to thumb wars and losing, pub quizzes, spouting random facts i read on wikipedia, moaning about the rain, walking in the snow, getting sunburnt,putting the world to rights in conversation, and other stuff!!
