*Not accepting guests* I am about to have a baby so I will not host anyone for the time being. Happy to hang out and show people round though* CURRENT MISSION To live. ABOUT ME I am an ambiverted female, technically 38but I don't feel it yet. I used to be an introvert but I'm forcing myself to be more social. I became an esl teacher as I wanted to travel and see the world for about 5 years before I returned to the UK and found a proper job. This was a decade ago. In the interim I have lived in 8 countries, learned a huge amount, deceloped as a person and decided to settle with my fiance in Romania. There are many things that I want to do and I don't know quite where to start! I believe in a boarderless world. I'm pretty anti big-organisations of any kind. I tend to feel people would be considerably better off left to their own devices and not told what to do all the time. I feel the world is free and we should not be artifically constrained by governments. I like animals, films, strange people, books, facts...most things really. PHILOSOPHY Nothing makes any sense and life is a joke To see the world in a grain of sand - Blake Wrap up warm - my Granny You can never have too man friends, too much change or too much underwear. Don't follow an imaginary rulebook.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Hosting and Surfing. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Travel round the Baltic states and central Europe. Hosted in Edinburgh,Bucharest, Milazzo, Moscow and Iasi. Surfed in Ireland and Australia.
Music, Movies, and Books
I like artfilms and classics. I don't watch a lot of hollywood stuff but it's good sometimes. I have been a biblioaddict for as long as I can remember. I'll read anything good! Mostly biographies and Victorian novels as I have a strange obsession with the 19th c. I like a mixture of music, from pop to rock to classical. I love choral music. I don't particularly like rap/hip hop or dance music.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Seen the sunrise on the first of January on a beach in Ghana The whales and stingrays of Australia The new year and cherry blossoms of Kyoto The Aeolian islands of Sicily The volcanoes of Kamchatka The sands of Nida The Grand Canyon Niagara Falls The Arabian desert The the Corals of the Red Sea Flying fish in the Persian Gulf the Sky over East Anglia The mountains of Transylvania And lived...
Teach, Learn, Share
He who binds himself to a joy Doth the winged life destroy He who catches the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sunrise -Blake. Corny, but I like it!
