Epic adventures

ABOUT ME

All about me in a box. Excellent. I am Yorkshire born and bred. I get excited about the little things and enjoy the ridiculous. I like to drink myself silly in the company of others doing the same. I fall over A LOT (occasionally due to said drinking). I delight in making to-do lists with tick boxes but I'm hopelessly unorganised. I'm exorbitantly indecisive and a little more stubborn than I care to admit. I'm short sighted and have a tendency to miss buses if I'm not wearing my glasses. After living on a beach in Vietnam for a month I am genuinely terrified of the prospect of death by falling coconut.

PHILOSOPHY

Here are a few little gems that I like to live by...

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all." Helen Keller

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” St. Augustine

"Not all those who wander are lost.” – J. R. R. Tolkien

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I only found out about couch surfing once I was on the road but I will be opening up my couch to all the vagabonds when I finally rest my feet somewhere.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have really landed on my feet with all of my couch surfing experiences so far. Not only have they all been exceptional hosts, I've made some true friends for life and simply can't wait for more.
