About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy the moment

ABOUT ME

So I'm a fun loving Brit who is always looking to crack the next joke. I like to think that I'm considerate and easy going, always willing to listen to other people.

I have only just started my experience but so far it's everything I expected it to be. I often like to surround myself with outgoing people, which in turn draws out my own character. Although I'm always up for a deep and introspective chat!

PHILOSOPHY

"whatever"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a few times now and I'll let my references do the talking. I am now trying to reactivate myself in Surabaya.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The guests that I have hosted have really inspired me to get even more involved in this community. The generosity, casual attitude and spice for life have made my life more interesting and fruitful. To be continued..... Also as mentioned before I have met some really cool people in my local group who I hope will become good friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have one amazing experience which few people will have been lucky enough to experience.

I was at Airs Rock in Australia with my family when I was 15. We were walking through the bush towards the great spectacle, when the wind picked up and in a matter of seconds found ourselves amidst a storm.
It rained for only a few minutes but when the Sun came out and hit the streams of water cascading down the Rock, every colour of the rainbow encompassed the rock's surface.

An experience which I try my best to hold onto.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you like most people our age don't enjoy cleaning and leave it until a bacterial metropolis has evolved, then I suggest Coca-Cola as the most effective cleaning agent. Trust me it works!
