About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see some south american sunshine and try and do some good deeds along the way!

ABOUT ME

I've lived with my boyfriend Mikey for a couple of years now, mainly in shared houses with friends but for the last few months in a little flat.

We're both pretty laid back with similar tastes and philosophies - music, festivals, partying, comedy... all that stuff... and we're always pretty cheerful and content :)

We've been planning our travels for about 2 years and at last we are in the position to go. We look forward to leaving behind the stress and the nasty consumerism of England - and the weather of course!

PHILOSOPHY

Hasta La Victoria Siempre!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I have a fixed abode anyone is welcome! I'm in Latin America at the moment so hoping to do a bit of surfing myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far so fucking good! Shawn came to stay in England which was great and I'm also starting to surf through Central and South America!

Music, Movies, and Books

I finally read Lord of the Rings a year or so ago, although I possibly enjoyed it too much - I now quite like the idea of being an elf.

I like most sorts of music, have been to Glastonbury Festival a couple of times and tried to see as much as the mud would permit!

I saw Pan's Labyrinth recently which I really enjoyed...still on the hunt for a mandrake root of my own, I think it would be quite useful.

I was just reminded at the weekend of how much I love Napoleon Dynamite too - vote for Pedro!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw Yoko Ono's sister with Fidel Castro! ...
At a concert in the 'John Lennon Park' in Havana so it's not quite as random as you might think ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I'm not sure if others would benefit but I used to do a lot of gymnastics and am a qualified coach (or perhaps was - I'm not sure if these things expire!) I speak Spanish too so perhaps that would be a more useful exchange.

I like making things too, it doesn't really extend much further than beads and birthday cards at the moment but I'd like to learn how to make or build more useful stuff!

I'm also hoping to pick up a few local tricks as I float through Latin America.
