ABOUT ME

I'm laid back, friendly and like to see the lighter side of things. I would never want anyone to feel left out so I always try to be inclusive and approachable. I like trying new things and think it's important to challenge myself and overcome my fears.

PHILOSOPHY

I love this quote from Robert Frost - "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on". It sums up how I want to see life - that whatever happens, and even if it doesn't feel like it at the time, things will move on and new fresh experiences will open themselves to us. I also love the line from the Beatles song Let It Be - "There will be an answer, let it be" - just leave things, don't force them, and everything will work out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I set up this account in 2010 and it's taken me a while to create a profile and really get started with couchsurfing. I'm really looking forward to meeting people from different countries to show them around and go for a coffee.

Interests

I love dancing, animals, vegetarianism and being in nature. and I enjoy going to comedy nights, listening to live music, experimenting with cooking exotic foods and reading.
