About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel as many parts of the world to cure me of this travel fever. As soon as it's cured my mission will then be to become an R.A.F Medic ☐✈️

ABOUT ME

I was bought up to believe that being polite is of upmost importance! I can't tolerate rudeness when it hasn't been warranted at all.
I value manners once again because of what 'the older generation' taught me.
I'm outgoing and although I've had to work some crazy hours here in England to save up, I still love going out and doing the weirdest dances... all the time believing I'm actually good ☐.
I love travelling and exploring different cultures and that's not a lie. I went to Portugal for 4 months working and living with all British people and I still ended up with more Portuguese friends than I did with the 'they should speak English' Brits! I love cooking and I'm pretty sure I've tried to cook food from most cultures. The Sri Lankan goat curry I made was mm mmm mmmmm!
Through a bit of experience and love of doing it I can make some PUKKA cocktails! So looking forward to grabbing fresh ingredients on my travels and making some of the freshest cocktails known to man☐☐.

PHILOSOPHY

To be happy. When do you ever feel better than when you are happy?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will be a homeless bum in need of couches on my travels haha!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as of yet...

Interests

Basketball (and every other sport). I love basketball with a passion but sadly there isn't a massive scene here in the UK! Music (every type)... I love music! Hip-hop and R&B are probably my most listened too but having a look right now on my iTunes it seems that I have almost every genre of music there. I also write and perform my own music which helps me appreciate the musicality which goes into some songs. Anything which genuinely gives me a worry for my own life 'is it safe to jump from here *2 seconds later* AHHHHHHHH' and low and behold I'm still on this planet alive :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cliff Dived off the coast of Portugal. Bathed and jumped in the pools 20m away from the lip of a Waterfall in Mauritius.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer endless laughs if you have a sense of humour. I'm regarded as the joker in most groups but not because I actively seek the attention but mainly because I'm never miserable and I can take so much stick directed at me and poke more fun at myself! On the days where you feel like you can't be bothered to go outside I will drag you out and do something memorable! Oh yeah and as aforementioned I can do a complete meal. Food, Wine and Cocktails to finish... What could be better?!?!
