CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life as much as possible on a limited budget!

ABOUT ME

independent. confident. carefree.

I value... freedom, mother nature, vegetarian lifestyle, pushing myself to try something new, having a good time, drinking nice wine and eating cheese, being social, random & unexpected things, sleeping in on weekends, going to arts & music & cultural events, and seeing life through other people's eyes.

People say I'm very easy going and easy to get along with. I like life's simple pleasures and take things as they come.

Looking forward to getting to know you. Ask, and I will tell :)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in Karma... Treat others how you want to be treated. What goes around, comes around. Believe in the goodness of people.
We are none of us alone. Even as I exhale it is inhaled by others.

“Like the wind crying endlessly through the universe, Time carries away the names and the deeds of conquerors and commoners alike. And all that we are, all that remains, is in the memories of those who cared we came this way for a brief moment”.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I enjoy socialising, spending time with friends, dinners and drinks out, art galleries, movies, film festivals, comedy festivals, live music, sunday markets, yoga, meditation, learning, exploring, gym and keeping fit (with acceptable indulgences!).

I try to make time to read, to get the warmth of sun on my skin, to smile more, to have personal time to reflect.

...Thinking about learning more about photography, doing a Masters one of these days, and figuring out how I can work in international development without missing my friends at home too much...and how I can retire young.

I like to bake sweets. I have a bad sweet tooth.
