CURRENT MISSION

I'm studying in Leeds working towards my goal of working in film and television.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty chilled person, probably a little shy at first but that's just me. One thing I love to do is try new things (last week I bought a sewing machine after the whim took me that I'd like to make my own clothes). This probably comes from the fact that I like challenges and stimulation in my life, but I'm also pretty good at turning my hand to something new.

PHILOSOPHY

You shouldn't be afraid of life, it's a big world out there there's too much to see to be frightened of it.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm pretty new to this, but I'm really happy someone had the idea to set this up - I'm looking forward to getting more involved as time goes on.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as of yet.

Intereses

Film is my main passion, I can lose myself in it. As well as that I love to photograph my friends, I'm building quite a healthy album collection that I secretly can't wait to show my future kids.

On the side I love a bit of climbing, drawing and writing. As well as travelling, though I've done nowhere nearly enough yet. I'd class myself as a bit of a geek too, this ranges from Warhammer to attempting games programming.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I woke up on a plane, I was flying back from Japan so feeling slightly sombre. The Siberian lowlands stretched out endlessly beneath me and the sun was on the rise. Ice crystals glittered on the window and a carpet of white stretched to the horizon dotted with small villages and towns. We were flying level next to a wonderland of perfectly formed clouds.

I turned to my right and saw a beautiful Japanese woman sat next to me, she smiled at me with a cheeky grin. Life was pretty good at that moment.

It was at that moment however that I simultaneously hiccuped and sneezed. Sounding like I had whooping cough I snotted all over my t-shirt and hands. I then had to clamber over her, trying to support myself while not falling on her or touching her with my snot covered hands, all the while trying to grasp at any shreds of dignity still hanging around. That was a good moment.
