About Me

CURRENT MISSION

go places, do things, feel lucky

ABOUT ME

Firstly, I don't like writing about myself in a little box, but I'll try for your benefit. I am an open-minded and fun loving person, bla bla bla etc etc, I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life. I graduated a year ago and feel that my real life is now beginning - I'm happy that I completed my degree but ecstatic that its over! YESSSS.
I'm silly. I'm playful. I like messing around. I like spontaneity. My worst point is that I can be indecisive at times (very annoying!). I try to use my brain capacity when possible. I'm adventurous, I'm easy going. I'm getting more and more into travelling but rather than hopping about I really like staying somewhere a bit longer, getting to know the place from a local's point of view.

PHILOSOPHY

Live for having fun, being happy, and helping other people to do the same! Do everything that you want to do. Don't stress, that's not nice.

Music, Movies, and Books

Films: lots of Disney, Shrek, Toy Story, anime e.g. Howls Moving Castle, Pedro Almodóvar films, The Last Kind of Scotland, Horton Hears a Who - and lots more

Books: I have a really bad memory for books and tend to forget what happens, so I can read them over and over! At the moment I am reading Food of the Gods by Terence McKenna and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

Music: I can't put my music taste in a box at all, like most people really, I like so many different genres/bands/artists, old and new....for a good rave up I like dubstep, also enjoy UK hip hop, soul, funk, old school garage, some house, some indie, some rock, some punk, some electronica, and so much more - music makes me so happy - I LOVE acoustic guitar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living on a mountain in France for 5 months - amazing views, amazing skiing, amazing people :)
Lying down in the middle of deserted french village streets to watch the shooting stars and bats.
Poking my own eye out then stuffing it back in again. jooooke.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach Spanish and French to an intermediate-advanced standard; beginner's pole dancing; skiing (if there happens to be a mountain around); how to make white chocolate, baileys and almond cheesecake; and how to party like it's 1999.

I'd LOVE to learn how to play guitar! And also how to cook easy stuff I've never made before; more pole dancing; ideas on how to make the most of life; more languages; learn about travelling; and any other splendid or useful things you could possibly teach me. SURFING IN BALI! Most of all I want to be inspired...
