Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to bring happiness to the world. Because you should never underestimate the value of a smile :-)
ABOUT ME
I am many people rolled into one which is reflected in my very varied dress sense, taste in music and general randomness ;-P I live to experience new things and love being spontaneous. I really enjoy going to new places and meeting new people. The two things I hate most in life are negativity and writing descriptions of myself so I will leave it at this and you can make your own judgement when you meet me :-)
PHILOSOPHY
Be happy.
Simple, but isn't this what everyone wants from life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am currently unable to host surfers as myself and my lovely boyfriend have recently purchased a Japanese Akita puppy who is doing his best to hump and chew everything in sight, and whilst he is very cuddly and cute looking I would hate to find one morning that he has eaten one of our guests. The spare room is undergoing renovation at present but will hopefully be available, along with air mattress, in the near future. I am more than happy to meet up with you for coffee or a drink and show you around the city. My boyfriend is also a keen gym enthusiast, so if like him you cant stand to be away from the gym for more than a couple of days, and you find yourself in Notts, feel free to get in touch and he will be happy to help you get a day pass for the gym and join you for a work out if you wish :-)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
A former housemate is a long standing CS member and as a result we did jointly host one surfer on a business trip to Notts from London. I also met and stayed with CS hosts in Norway and Vietnam whilst travelling with her and found the experience immensely enjoyable. I now feel that its time to get my own profile out there and join the community!

Music, Movies, and Books
I really enjoy reading and loosing myself in fiction. I love the Charlene Harris Sookie Stackhouse series and the True Blood TV series this has been made into. I also enjoy crime fiction such as Richard Layman's books and Ian Rankins Rebus novels. Film wise it depends on my mood, I love comedy such as the Jay and Silent Bob movies, Anchor Man and Team America and more recently The Hang Over to name but a few, I also love Disney/Pixar movies such as Monsters inc and Toy Story. I enjoy a good vampire/zombie movie such as Dusk till Dawn and action movies such as Lock Stock and Reservoir Dogs. Likewise my musical tastes are very varied, I love ska and punk, classic rock, drum and bass and dubstep, trance, reggae and lots more, my CD collection is what you could call eclectic and I'm always open to new things.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing I have done was a charity sky dive, saying that, I have had so many great experiences it is hard to choose and I'm hoping there will be many more.
Teach, Learn, Share
I will teach you how to prepare one of my traditional English specialty dishes, Full English Fry Up breakfast or Sunday Roast Dinner if you wish. I would love to know what you may be able to teach me.....I love learning new things.
