CURRENT MISSION

right the wrongs then have a drink to celebrate

ABOUT ME

Journalist working in London, permanently trying to figure out how to reconcile my slightly debauched lifestyle with my supposed professionalism... I like people, especially strange ones.

PHILOSOPHY

This is a silly question. Be kind, be silly, work to enhance the world or the lives of those that live in it in some way big or small...?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have only surfed so far as since joining I haven't lived in a place with an available couch - but the day I have a proper home of my own I will be hosting! Right now I live in a small caravan so it would definitely be impossible!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I absolutely love it....since discovering the joys it's the only way I want to travel. Surfed in US, Colombia and Argentina.
