About Me

CURRENT MISSION

countries, cultures, people, education, change, community, action

ABOUT ME

Well.... I love to travel and am fascinated with all things new and all the people I have not yet met. Talking is something I love to do- from Politics to music to vegan baking and I can soemtimes even pretend I know about sport!

I am an ex Peace Studies student, however having quit a few months ago I am now am working a job that is money but not fulfilling. So for now I am looking to find some meaningful exciting adventures, if a little short.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that you learn the most important things with your heart not your head and that sending yourself to new cultures and places and people can only enrich you and be a positive force for you and therefore your community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am living with the parentals so not the most ideal way to host surfers! However if any of you want to explore the Hampshire countryside or want to stay somewhere an hour by train from london I would be more than happy to host you, I am sure something can arranged!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well I have not been on here long, however I am used to staying in youth hostels and campsites and chatting to new epople on my travels so I am excited to have a slightly more 'home like' environment to meet new people and chit chat!
