ABOUT ME

I love all my homes and finding new ones. I love carrying all my belongings on my back, also spreading them out all over my life. I like trying to play the guitar, and kazoo. Spit is my favourite card game. I have a terrible memory for almost everything. I love climbing trees, rocks, hills, also love my giddy vertigo. I love sandwiches, wine, baking (and eating) cakes, crumpets, smetana, pirogi s kartoshkoi, cheese is my favourite. wavering vegetarian. I like plants. generally hope people start being nicer to the world and lately been thinking I should think less and do more, but let's see what transpires.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have had my best ever travel experiences surfing this year, really gutted I can't help and host as much as I want now I'm home, all I can offer at the moment is fun and an enthusiastic Glasgow girl to help you out and show you round...exams permitting..:S

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have met some really amazing people in Sweden (Ellen and Bjorn! Sandra, Annika!) and Russia (learned some mean durak from Anna in Krasnoyarsk... Grigory and Kirill entertained us in Tomsk and made me love Altai... Julia's midnight tour of Ekaterinburg... Spike and Sasha saved us from storms and ticks in Irkutsk...Irina in Vladimir - an inspiration)
Can't wait to take part in other ways now welcoming people to my hometown
