CURRENT MISSION

Travel everywhere, cover a room in doodles, have a paint fight, be a level 4 ski instructor

ABOUT ME

It feels strange to write about myself... I feel obliged to say that I definitely don't fit into the British steteotype; although I am polite and good at queuing, I do not turn into a rowdy monster when I drink. I am far more interested in culture, nature, music and food. These are the things I look for when travelling or at home.
I am due to study Art and Design in Leeds in September and have been travelling around as much as time and money will permit. So far I have trained as a trapeze artist in London and then a ski instructor in the French alps; travelled alone but never truly alone in Thailand, Laos and Vietnam; tried to live like a local in Amsterdam for 2 weeks!
In terms of my personality I am easy going and smiley, able to laugh at myself, creative and curious about most things.
As a houseguest, I treat people's homes how I would expect people to treat mine, which means I clean up after myself!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the little things in life and do what makes you happy!
Simple but it has worked for me so far...

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing at the momemt but I will definitely be hosting when I get my own place. I am more than happy to show people around London in the meantime or give any advice.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed a few times now and have loved it! It is the best way to see a place and meet lovely people who live in said place.
The way I like to surf is to get to know my host and eat meals together. I would never treat anyone's home like a hotel - thats not why I couchsurf!

兴趣

Art, music, mountains, science, baking and beer. Also enjoy static trapeze, rock climbing and walking/cycling around to find a good view.

I also take a lot of pictures of things, If anyone is interested: https://www.flickr.com/photos/109-524-9756/

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Trained to be a ski instructor. It was unlike anything I had ever done and challenging in ways I wouldn't have expected. Also just the experience of living in the mountains was one I would love to repeat.

Travelling around Vietnam. The landscapes are so varied and beautifully green!

Saw my first circus show - cirque du soleil to be precise - it is pretty amazing what the human body is capable of. Aside from this the set design, costumes, lighting, acting - everything is incredible!

Saw the Rolling Stones live. My first ever concert - it was pretty amazing and probably sparked my love of music forever

教，学，和分享

Well I could teach skiing but probably not while couchsurfing haha.
I really enjoy cooking and baking, so sharing recipes and learning new dishes is something I love to do.
BUT music is the thing I love the most; to discover, to share, to listen, to play. I would go crazy wihout it!
