CURRENT MISSION

"But I don't want comfort! I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness! I want sin!" - Aldous Huxley from Brave New World

ABOUT ME

Im messy, honest, brave, always late, passionate, unorganised, loyal, adventurous, often lazy, sometimes motivated, intelligent and loud, among other things.

My biggest passion is traveling, I´m slowly making my way around the whole world - I hope to see every country before I die! I´m secretly a bit of a geek, I love reading. Oh and I also love documentaries! I love animals - all of them (i wont even kill spiders!). I like to get dressed up and go out drinking and dancing with friends, but I also love staying home and watching telly in my trackies or having ppl round for dinner (i love cooking) and enjoying a few glasses of wine with friends.

Im new to couchsurfing.com so please dont be offended if im a bit picky to start with about who i take in. while i can fit 3-4 i would feel more comfortable starting with 1. If you dont have any positive ratings please dont waste your time because i wont be accepting anyone without references.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is such an amazing gift.... i dont want to waste it. I want to get as much out of it as i can, and i want to help others do the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have traveled a lot and in that time i have met many amazing people who have helped me so much by taking me under their wing. So now i im always willing to do the same. I feel like i am slowly building a global network of couch hoppers who look after each other when they can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met many people while traveling who took me in. I have had even more people stay here with me. Ive had a swedish girl i met in thailand stay for a week. An english guy i met in thailand stay for a week. Four danish girls who i met through through the english guy stay for two weeks. An american girl i met at a bar stay for 2 months. And a Scottish girl who was working at my local pub who stayed for 2 weeks. I have remained close friends with most of them.

The danish girls staying was an interesting time. there were three of them sleeping in my king sized bed, one of them on a mattress, the american girl in one single bed and me in another. My friends brother needed a place to stay for a night, and so did the english guy, my sister came over and was too drunk to go home so a few of us ended sleeping in the hallway as it was the only place with carpet!
