CURRENT MISSION

to see how much change I can collect from the backs of other peoples couch's...

ABOUT ME

Hi - I'm Eleanor, a friendly English girl looking for a sofa in an easy going house with chatty people who can show me the local sights and sounds. I've been travelling for over 3 years around the world and dont plan to go home any time soon! I'm intent on seeing the "real world" - not the glossy tourist world or following a horde of Lonely Planet sheep... yawn! I want to see your way of life and your opinion on things, I'm a good listener but once I'm involved in a good conversation I could literally talk for England :)

Quick list of interests for the internet addicts who cant read more than a sentance before getting distracted :

I love - glitter. shoes. glittery shoes. chicken korma. extending overdrafts to obscene amounts and getting away with it (or not as the case may be). pear cider. daydreaming. doodling. reading. tetris. baking fairy cakes.

PHILOSOPHY

Now's the only time I know.
