About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Changing career to become a Paramedic!!! Trying to travel on the side!

ABOUT ME

I am a very out going individual, and try to make the most out of every opportunity I get. I love life and all its unexpected turn outs.

I love the outdoors and all it has to offer. I have been working in the outdoors since 2009 and now I am training to become a Paramedic, although the outdoors is still a big part of my life!

PHILOSOPHY

if there's a solution to a problem there's no point worrying; if there's no solution worrying won't help. (my personal favorite quote)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only lived in one house so far which allowed me to be a host but I really enjoyed the experience and am hoping to be able to host again soon! I love couch surfing myself, getting tips on the places I visit and seeing a whole different side to a place from it! I've had some amazing experiences though this site and I hope that long continues!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some awesome folks and managed to go to places I would never have seen otherwise! It's great to meet so many diverse and interesting peeps!

Interests

I fell in love with the outdoors in 2009 and now climbing, kayaking and surfing are among my top interests (although as the say jack of all trades master of none over-estimates my levels!). That said I injured myself last year so haven't managed to get out and about much. I am really excited to get back into my sports soon though! I also really enjoy discovering new things and new places. Just as much as I love exploring the countryside, I like to wonder around new cities, and spend time in Museums and Art Galleries.

Music, Movies, and Books

pretty useless with name of things but music wise i love rock n roll, and reggae and soul and pretty much anything. Obviously there is some I'm not a fan of but I have no idea what it is! Favorite lyrics though has got to be 'I don't care for your fancy music if your feet don't shuffle around'!

My favourate film is the Darjeeling Limited - i love films where not much happens, you just see into people's lives a bit like little miss sunshine. Although you have gotta love a bit of action films as well. And I am nearly always in the mood for a trashy rom com! I just don't do horrors.

It takes me aaaages to read a book so I haven't read all too much really. I do enjoy Bill Bryson though!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Doing the Olympic skeleton run in Lilliehammer!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I'm an outdoor insturctor so I love taking people out and about. I love just chatting away though and finding out about people. There are so many people in this world and each has some awesome stories! I also quite like cooking - which is handy as there are loads of food I can't eat! So I enjoy learning new recipies and making food dor others too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't have a lot but I love to hear about others. I'm really easy to get on with and just enjoy being social so I suppose I can offer being social? If that's a thing! haha
