About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy my life as much as I possibly can!

ABOUT ME

Hello! Well I am just about to set off on my adventure around the world. I am going with my boyfriend (CS Stephen Ryan http://www.couchsurfing.org/profile.html?id=9XL2N8K)who I met at University 4 years ago. We have been together for nearly 3 years and for the past year since we graduated we have been living together, working and saving so we can travel the world together.

Our plan for our little adventure is to try not too plan too much, head in the direction we have in mind and see what happens, who we meet and what opportunities come up.

I am really excited about meeting other couchsurfers - I think travelling this way will be so much more interesting than just staying in hostels. We hope to do a mixture of both, but would also be interested in just meeting other couchsurfers who want to provide any info about their home city and help us to settle in.

PHILOSOPHY

To be happy & sucessful and try to make others happy along the way...To enjoy the world and see as much of it as possible...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have joined lots of forums and have learnt so much information from everyone, so I have tried my best to pass on what I know and what I have learnt.

I hope to surf alot during my travels, I believe it will make a huge difference to someones trip and I hope I can offer this to other CS's when I return and have my own place!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The Notebook!! Love it! Makes me cry every time! Any film that makes me cry I will love...in some weird way! lol. But am prone to lots of other films, just seen inglorious basterds which I loved, other recent films the hangover was good, bruno too, love a good rom com too and sex and the city :) Also like th harry potter films, but honestly, most films!

Music: All of it!! Studied music so have come to appreciate opera and classical, grew up listening to The Rolling Stones, Meatloaf, Jimi Hendrix and lots of Blues from my parents. Recently I am really liking Regina Spector, Florence and the Machine, Kasabian, Franz Ferdinand, La Roux, Kings of Leon, MGMT, will always love Prodigy, Oasis, Radiohead, Alanys Morrisette, ..but honestly love it all!!

Favorite Books: Havent read a fiction book in ages...am currently trying to read travel books haha but I do love the Harry Potter collection and I love a good biography, love books that are based on true stories, especially sad ones, I have no idea why!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping in a cave in America, watching prodigy live, watching muse live, glastonbury festival in general, it is amazing and would reccommend it to anyone! I hope to add to this list over the next year...

Teach, Learn, Share

OKay, well the only thing I can think of that I can teach is mathematics! haha but doubt any of you are needing to know that right now. I like to think I am good cook?! So would be more than happy to give that a go, not sure if England has any great dishes so maybe you could teach me how to cook some food from your country!?

Canada, Spain, United States
