About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people, from anywhere and of any age. To have fun. To live.

ABOUT ME

Ok, friendly, energetic, good shelf builder, house-trained, semi-ginger, not too bad for a Pom etc :D

PHILOSOPHY

Wow...to live, love, have fun, be kind, smile, laugh, try to be happy, remembering that if I'm sad; it will pass. To enjoy what I have, because a lot of people can only dream of these things. To learn, to teach, to help.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By joining in...

I've been involved with couchsurfing, both via this website and word of mouth since April 2012. This is when I moved into the House of Craic. Here I started as a couchsurfer, slowly became part of the furniture and then helped to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As above and I was also a couch surfer myself around the south island of the incredible country that is New Zealand.

Interests

Socialising, having fun, just chilling with my flat mates and girlfriend. Really I just enjoy being in the company of people who are enjoying themselves. Love sports, watching and playing.

  • scuba diving
  • sports

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies...I LOOOOVE movies. The Shawshank Redemption is my favourite. Its an incredible story of a man, sent to jail to rot and live out the rest of his days and tells how instead of giving up, he instead uses all that he knows and is, to change the lives of the people around him. Makes me cry every time...but then, so does Monsters Inc...ahaha.

Music....Rock, Blues, Rap, Hip-hop, Electro-swing, Jazz etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky diving: jumped from 12,500ft on the AFF level 1 course. It meant I fell with 2 intructors next to me, but no one on my back. It also produced the most surreal moment in my life!

Drove 2000kms+ on a road trip over 3 days with 4 of my house mates, from Perth to Broome.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Morocco, Portugal

Countries I’ve Lived In
