About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To finish my childrens novel!! and cupcakes!

ABOUT ME

I´m a pretty tall english girl or otherwise seen as la morenita alta con pelo chino!!

I came to Mexico on an 11 day holiday in April. I got to the airport and decided to just take the leap and stay and make a life for myself oin Mexico! So far it´s been pretty sweet!
I´m big on smiling and laughing and most of the time that´s how you´ll find me!
I´m writing a childrens novel at the mo and also looking for more writing projects to work on.
I´ve love live music,cooking, reading, partying, mojitos, beer, films, cheese, speaking spanish, dancing like a fool and many many more things!

PHILOSOPHY

Take risks and follow your instincts, in the end they will always lead you to where you will be happiest and to what you will be happiest with. Learn from and laugh at the mistakes we make. Smile!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took the risk in quitting my job in London to stay out in Mexico and start from scratch! I don´t regret a thing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tap dance and teach English! I can also cook really well! I give good hugs and can be an ace friend!
