Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel the World.. Discover things I have not yet discovered
ABOUT ME
Shortly after I graduated university in June 2008, I left the country and have yet to return. A quote from artist Michael Franti has always resonated with me: "It seems like everywhere I go, the more I see, the less I know." I crave new experiences, ideas and beliefs different from my own, and seek out the beauty in every day. I value passion, individuality, and creativity. I believe in the power of the individual to inspire positive change, and I believe in the power of communities to inflict that change where it is needed.
I decided I wanted to see a small percentage of the world....! Still a Fresher, but have been to a fair few countries to know that I am going to explore that so many more!!Once you start you just can't stop! I am extremely outgoing and can make conversation with pretty much anyone.. let's just say you would have to be dam boring if I had difficulty! haha.. One of my hobbies.. if you can call it that, is Meeting people! I am definitely aware of the fact that we ALL only live once, so am making sure I make the most out of LIFE!!
PHILOSOPHY
Dance like nobody's watching.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's heaven on earth.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
At the moment I am travelling so cannot offer anyone a couch to sleep on.. Will defo be generous enough to offer travellers somewhere to sleep, ofcourse when I settle back home! - (where ever that is?!) Haha.. I have surfed in various countries.. and also attend daily,weekly or monthly CS meetings in the city I am currently visiting..Also, I spread a good word of mouth about couch surfing.. and all of my previous experiences ..
