Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To meet at least one person from every culture in the world
ABOUT ME
I Adore Life! I am passionate about travelling and love meeting new people and chatting away, whether it be for 5 minutes, 5 days or the rest of my life. I like to think I am quite concientious- my absolute hate is offending people (unless I am trying on purpose but that generally applies to my brother only). I have been on the road for a year now and, to tell you a secret, am so excited to go home and see my family and friends again but not so looking forward to the prospect of working full time again.... I love to have little adventures and fun along the way but also very open to a quiet night in once in a while with a good book and an even better bottle of wine :-)
PHILOSOPHY
Life should be enjoyed and is far too short to stay at home. Money and possessions aren´t everything and sometimes it is worth having less to having a better quality of life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have only just joined but particpated so far in telling all of my friends about the site- it is such a good idea! I would love to participate in the fute by having a free couch for anyone that asks.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
As I have only just signed up I have no experience so far but two very lovely friends of mine who told me about the site have had amazing times and completely sold it to me.
Interests
I have so many interests and they change daily depending on what I am doing! My first love is reading and learning about history but I also love being in the sea, listening to other people´s stories and having a giggle.

Music, Movies, and Books
Every single book in the world! I love music I can dance to but I can leave out the romantic stuff. Unfortunately I am too fidgety for movies unless I am tired and then I fall asleep and ruin it- i´m not the best person to go to the cinema with!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I went in a helicopter over the glaciers in New Zealand
Teach, Learn, Share
There is no such thing as an ugly person- only people´s perceptions. Never judge someone on a first impression because sometimes people are nervous/ drunk/ in a bad mood and it doesn´t honestly reflet on who they are. Always learn some of the culture to the places you are going as it will avoid offending the locals! Learning please and thank you in the language is always a given as well- a smile and a please should get you most places in life!
Always carry chocolate around with you... best way to make new friends!
