About Me

ABOUT ME

A short Scottish lass who loves music in all forms (live, listening, writing etc), laughing, enjoying a brew or 2 and is proud to have so many wonderful friends.
My days are spent occupied with music and talking about anything and everything.
Very easy going and love nothing more than to have great banter!
Just started my first big solo adventure to Japan, Australia, New Zealand and USA. Have loved Japan, off to Oz tomorrow...

PHILOSOPHY

Realising that you have to live in the moment and talk to as many people as you can. It's all butterflies and hurricanes in the end...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just become a member of the CouchSurfing community, but have spoken to many people who have either surfed or hosted and think it is a fantastic idea. What better way than to network in this world?

None to tell you yet, but as soon as I have one you'll know.

Interests

Music (live, listening, writing...etc); laughing; making other people laugh; being creative; cooking; walking / hiking; Scottish ales (and other drinks from across the world...), cheese.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

These memories are things that are perhaps amazing to me, but pale in comparison to others... But one that comes to mind is working with over 300 workers from Poland, Belarus, Lithuania, Slovakia etc on a fruit farm in my hometown and knowing every single one of them by name. To this day, I still am in contact with at least 40 of them. 2004 was truly one of the best summers I've had.

Teach, Learn, Share

Smiling takes less muscles than frowning...
