About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Listen to Forrest Gump's mum more often"Lifes like a box of chocolates... You never know what you're gonna get!" Take it as it comes and make the most of what you've got!

ABOUT ME

Life turns out best when people make the best of their lives. This pretty much wraps up my personality with a ribbon and tie too! I l LOVE to have a laugh, can't go a day without a smile and get along with pretty much anyone! I'm a bit of a party gal and LOVE adventure but can handle the good old chill with just as much enjoyment! For me, It's the unique art of each individual that determine the outcome of our experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

To live like there's no tomorrow, dance like no-one is watching, laugh in a thousand languages and be who I am and who I can be!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Give my lounge to surfers, have fun, help out when I can, party hard and enjoy every minute of it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

WOW! I was the luckiest one!! The first time I surfed was in Bangkok, Thailand. This was the sky's limit and more to what i had imagined. I was "AT HOME AND COMFORTABLE" in this environment and it was all because of the awesome hosts and company i was surrounded by (up to 15 couch surfers at once). I ended up surfing the awesome N6 pad 3 times and each and everytime was different in it's own way. There are arm wrestles (Next time Ian!), fruit smoothie making (Oh yeah!), painting (I loved the elphant), documentary productions (Go Ivan and Lorenzo), music, internet freaks (That's you Marc), self defence lessons (You rule Peak), cooking (Jekky your the best!), partying (I won't spill that video secret Ben), problem solving (resulting in the famous whiteboard and SOME people getting off their butts), card playing (Presidents rule over assholes!! ;), and soooo much more that you MIGHT just get to expereince for yourself one day..... If you're as lucky as moi ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is an art of expression: I need it EVERYDAY!

Movies rock but I never remember what happens the next day!

Like to read auto biography's occasionally but would rather be outdoors and on the go!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving 14,000 feet YYEEEHHHHAAA!!!!!
Bungee jumping off Victoria Falls, Zambia
Bought a homeless man a hot chocolate in winter, sat and had a chat to him for 10mins
Held Michael Jackson's hand for a whole second when I was 15
Lots more!

Teach, Learn, Share

hhhmmmm.....If I were to sum it up I would have to say that we are all individual flowers who need to be watered in order to grow and express ourselves freely. I think that we water one another's flowers by sharing our life experiences, knowledge, skills and laughter, leaving a space open for others opinions. With these exchanges our community of flowers blossom with colour and diversity!........
