About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to infiltrate Buckingham Palace and perform a strip tease in front of the queen, until that day I'm trying to see as many new places as I can whilst getting into a bit of mischief and ticking items off the bucket list

ABOUT ME

Hey all, thanks for stopping by I moved to Alexandria in September and I've been having a great time so far but I'm looking for other ways to get involved with the community and experience more of the culture and see more of the city and surrounding areas whilst getting to know some of you couch surfer folk...

I'm from a little village in Wales, currently working as a teacher in Alex. I'm an environment enthusiast, and enjoy caring for animals, keeping the place clean and pollutant free and trying to live as sustainably as possible. Would be great to organise or get involved with some green projects in Alex.
