About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live it Up!

ABOUT ME

Hey, So a bit about me....

I really enjoy travelling, random and unplanned nights out. Dancing until ridiculous hours in the morning. Laying on beaches. reading novels.

I also love going to the theatre to see small productions. i do like big shows to like havana Rhakatan this cuban dance show that was touring recently- that was good.

I like graphic design books, actually i just love buying books in general- books with really nice covers.

PHILOSOPHY

Live young, free, open minded and full of energy.

The most exciting things happen outside our comfort zones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spent a month inter railing europe with my friend karina and we couchsurfed our way around. we met so many amazing people. we went to berlin, prague, krakow, tatra mountains, budapest, vienna, venice, tuscany and rome.

Then any other trips i do i like to meet people from the city, have also taken few peple for a drink in my home town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

couch surfed in Lille June 2008 and had a very good first experience and kept coming back for more.

Interests

'learning for the sake of learning', making the effort to become a better person in all senses. The outcome, the lessons learned, the knowledge gained, the challenges given and faced from meeting new people. I love that some people i will know my whole life and that is great and some i only know a short while but they are still great moments if only short.
