About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live a life less ordinary

ABOUT ME

I think I have a good balance of being relaxed yet motivated.
Relaxed enough not to stress about the things in life that don't matter, but motivated enough to make sure I always experience new things and push myself to become a better person.

PHILOSOPHY

I love the idea of being able to enjoy simple yet creative things that don't necessarily cost a lot or use a lot of resources.
I like the idea that the world could be a better place cos I have lived in it.
I don't ever wan't to say 'those were the best days of my life' -each part is going to be better than the last!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

En ce moment j'habite en France d'améliorer mon français. Alors le CS est un façon super pour aider les francophones avec un lit et tout qu'ils ont besoin de faire est de parler avec moi (ce n'est pas trop dur - je promis!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was a bit slow out of the blocks with couch surfing, but luckily I'm well practiced at making up for past mistakes!
Stated off this year hosting in France, now looking forward putting everything I learnt about what makes a good guest to use on my travels through Europe and West Africa...

Interests

The outdoors, kayaking, playing football, live music, art-house film, bike touring, quality discussions, perfecting sangria recipes.
