About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work out how to sustain myself creatively!

ABOUT ME

I am friendly, excitable, enthusiastic and open to adventure. I live with my partner and enjoy outdoor activities, as well as anything 'culture' related. I like meeting people and discovering places though I have no sense of direction. I enjoy city living but increasingly like escaping into the wilderness.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat other people as you would like to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't know yet!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly as a student, we've crashed on various floors/ couches in England, France, Belgium, New York, etc. The worst was in NY, when staying with a friend of a friend who liked clubbing but decided that none of us had the right brand of clothes to be seen in, and so lent us hers. The place we went to was populated by models and arms dealers. All the men bought the drinks (one man to each table only) and all the women danced. Except they didn't like how we danced either!
