CURRENT MISSION

Coast around southern England (and possibly the rest of the world!) before Uni in October, then begin life!

ABOUT ME

Slightly quirky a lot of the times, but get on with pretty much anyone - grew up in a cut off northern town in the Lake District, so my socialness has been restricted - got to fix that, haven't we?!

PHILOSOPHY

I'd start a revolution, if I could get up in the morning...

Seriously though, big fan of the golden rule - be nice to people and for the most part, they're nice to you back. Guess this site's a good example of that, actually.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking for free places to sleep form about July to October - gonna see what it's like being a drifter in the world, Karouac-style.

Definitely interested in hosting once I've got my own place: still a couple of years before that though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once went to Edinburgh for an all-night event without anywhere to sleep, and got lent a spare bed by one of the students there. Kind of liked the idea, then I discovered couchsurfing.com...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stood at the base of the Great Pyramid in Egypt - looked upwards and wasn't able to see the sun!

Teach, Learn, Share

Love languages very very much - be great to stay with someone who does too, maybe swap minature-lessons?

Also, Scrabble is the way, the truth and the light.
