CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to be kind to myself and concentrate on enjoying my life whilst making others as happy as possible along the way.

ABOUT ME

Hopefully my friends would say that I'm a great houseguest! I'm quiet and tidy and good company on a one-on-one basis, but I'm a little shy and tend to be the quiet one among groups of people I don't know well. I have a very dry/ sarcastic sense of humour but I'm not mean with it. I love to cook and am happy to make tasty food/ cakes for hosts and surfers alike.
My other half and I are vegetarian... however, it's fine for surfers to bring and cook meat if they want to.

My partner and I are both open-minded people and we welcome gay/ lesbian/ bisexual/ trans persons and those who may practice more "alternative" lifestyles.

I'm allergic to furry animals and can't really stay with anyone with dogs or cats or host anyone who wants to bring a pet. I'm cool with fish, snakes and other reptiles though. I have a medium-sized pet snake of my own, who lives inside a vivarium.

The only language I am fluent in is English, although I speak some French, badly! :)

PHILOSOPHY

I am probably the ultimate in non-judgmental and unshockable. I'm very open-minded and my philosophy can be summed up as "be excellent to each other."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far.

Interests

I run my own business making clothes and I've recently branched out into jewellery. Some of my out-of-work interests include motorbikes, kites and cooking. I've recently fallen in love with snowboarding and hope to spend a month in early 2013 in the French Alps. I think circus skills are the coolest things EVER and I've been having a go at hooping and contact juggling. I love fireworks and this year I am determined to go sky-diving. I want to speak better French and learn Latin. If anyone can assist/ wants a partner for any of these things, get in touch...
