About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Awaiting mission.

ABOUT ME

Just started out in Dubai after finishing my MSc in the UK. Came here to experience life in another country and meet people from all over the place, which as a city Dubai is particularly good for. I am trying to get the most out of my time in Dubai and therefore am completely open to attending any event that comes my way whether that be drag racing or a talk on understanding what Ramadan is all about etc. I am quite the self-learner and you can normally find some kind of guide or "how to" book in my room, just out of interest and curiosity really! I absolutely love to cook too, more so for other people, so you can be assured that you will be fed at my place! When it comes to activity I like to be random, I love white water rafting and also kayaking too. You'll know if I am having a good time because I smile a fair bit and if I find myself in exhilarating circumstances e.g. on a rollercoaster I tend to have quite an uncontrollable laugh :)

PHILOSOPHY

How do you know unless you have tried?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Relatively new to this, in fact, quite so. However, I am open to hosting people whilst I am in Dubai if I can as I have plenty of space to do so and think I am quite an accommodating host! I regularly meet up with other surfers who live in Dubai and try to keep in the loop with what is going on so if I cannot host or entertain you I may be able to recommend you an option!

Music, Movies, and Books

Hmmmm .... it's all a bit random really. That kind of sums up how I am actually so I can't really pinpoint any specific favourites!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Whilst in Ghana I made a child cry just by looking at me. Sounds a bit wrong but it was completely amazing to be somewhere new and exciting but also at the same time I was new and exciting (a bit alien) to the people there, who lived far off the tourist track.
