CURRENT MISSION

You know those benches in the park? The ones that say: Joe sat here and enjoyed the view, poet, father, friend. My mission is for my bench to say something: Alison sat here, while she wasn't away doing something really cool!

ABOUT ME

My best friend would say - "she is spontaneous, but with a 5 year plan."
My boyfriend would say - "she is fun to be with and always up for a laugh." (We met as Gamemakers at the London Olympics xD )
My mum would say - "she is hard working and smiley :D"
My dog would say - "woof"

And me - well I'd like to think that they are all pretty accurate! xD I'm friendly and easy going and just to want experience all that life has to offer.
I am respectful and polite and love spending time with people.
I am a lawyer and I love to travel!

PHILOSOPHY

I live by the philosophy: why do tomorrow what you can do today?

I think that life should be about living and experiencing amazing things with great people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet. I had a friend who couchsurfed, had an amazing experience and really got me interested....and so here I am!

Interessi

I love sport; I run almost every day and I am a big football fan.

I love talking politics and learning about other people's views and beliefs - even better if they are different from my own.

My other passion is baking - baking anything from cakes, biscuits and muffins to bread and other savoury foods.
