About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Eat ice-cream, build a labyrinth and to see the world!!!

ABOUT ME

I'm easy going, optimistic and friendly. I love the beach and wouldn't mind summer all year round! I love music, yummy & healthy food, meeting new people and doing new things. Enjoy reading and writing stories and poems. I swim (in the ocean if there is one) and run to keep the heart pumping.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness rubs off on others!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host. I surf. I am a traveller, I love to explore this beautiful world.

Interests

Spontaneity and change, drum beat of rain on a tin roof, gardening, yoga, music and people. I try to live sustainably and always good talking to others who are the same and learning new things from them.

I'm studying creative writing- i love to write and learning the craft has been amazing. I'm also studying neuroscience, the brain is a very interesting organ.

Music, Movies, and Books

One of my all time favourite authors is Haruki Murakami: he's a tripper. surreal draws me in any day. Also, David Foster Wallace is brilliant!

For music, I guess it's like most things...I'll go through phases of genres. Love a range of stuff, new and old. Lately I've been listening to Fat Freddy's Drop, Bon Ivor, Gold Panda, Hot Chip, Salmonella Dub, Taken by Trees......

Movies are awesome, don't really like T.V though...some favourites- Howl, Waking life, Science of Sleep, Spirited away, Micmacs.......
