I try to live interestingly, have adventures, make memories, be able to tell stories. I like learning about people. Humans are my favourite animals.

I'm a smiley and easy-going person. I love cooking and eating. I love dancing and film and listening to music. I have no sense of direction. I'm confused by society.

I'm in love so I am rarely without Andrew these days. We are a team.

PHILOSOPHY

Do you & Be nice

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a city surfer bra. Or I try to be as often as I can.

My CS experience is sporadic, but I had a wonderful time in Hamburg in 2012 because of it - thank you forever Jacek (whom I cannot find on here anymore!!!)

Interests

Give me food and I'll be genuinely happy and grateful and excited.

I'm up to anything but I like doing nothing best of all. Balance is best though to enjoy everything, so I do a lot, followed by a lot of nothing.

I love reading and wish I had more time to.

I enjoy finding out other people's passions. Show me anything, let's talk about everything.

• arts
• dining
• traveling
• music
• languages
