CURRENT MISSION

To conquer the world, one country at a time....meeting some fab people on the way!

ABOUT ME

I have a massive wanderlust, but have yet to properly satiate it. I prefer taking short jaunts to new, exciting and mysterious places rather than going off with a backpack for weeks at a time. There is always the thrill of another trip lurking just round the corner that way!

I'd love to do TEFL abroad someday and I hope it will be my gateway to a life spent discovering new cultures, meeting lots of new people and starting a new life full of surprises and excitement.

Guidebooks can provide a wealth of knowledge when it comes to travel, and i've discovered numerous gorgeous places because of them. However nothing beats getting to know a local, and being shown around by them instead. Joining them for a meal, a beer, some dancing in a club, or just simply roaming the surroundings...whatever it is, i'm happy to do it as long as i'm seeing the place through the eyes of a local! I hope to achieve that from Couchsurfing.

When at home I enjoy the simple things in life. Settling down with an interesting book, a good DVD, being in the company of friends, and listening to my favourite music. I make beaded jewellery which I occasionally sell, and go salsa dancing (though i'm still very much a beginner). I'm also a massive tennis geek and my ambition is to go to all 4 grand slams. I'm a quarter of the way there, having attended Wimbledon several years running.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live everyday as if it is my last...I have a hunger to know everything, see everything, meet as many people as possible and have a bloody good time!
