Whenever I have gone travelling it has been the people that I meet that make my trip so memorable and enjoyable. I love learning about new cultures and think there is nothing more beautiful than the ability to connect with a complete stranger. As we live in an increasingly technological and lonely society I am determined to keep on connecting with people. I want to keep reminding myself of the wonderful variety of individuals that make up our world and to dare myself to be more trusting of people I do not know yet. I am also inspired by a few of my friends who have had wonderful experiences couch surfing. This seems like an exciting, affordable and adventurous way to see the world!

I love every type of music, with the exception of heavy metal. But I am always interested in listening to new styles of music and especially love live music. I have been fortunate to go to many festivals and especially love funk and soul and reggae! Dancing is one of my biggest passions and I love dancing to all kinds of music. Favourite films would be Shawshank redemption, Forrest Gump and Spirited Away. I love reading and am trying to read more each year. A few of my favourite books are; The colour Purple, Room and The power of Now. The Power of Now has had a huge impact on my life helping me to live a life in the present that is mindful - I highly recommend it to anyone looking to become more present and grateful for life.
