About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new friends and influence people (into being awesome)

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid back, punk/hippy type, with a taste for adventure and trying new things. I like to travel around with my hula hoop spreading peace, love and crazy hair colour with my happy-go-lucky ways. Viva la cirque!

I love history and culture, and would always choose a museum over a shopping trip! But then again I'd always pick a beach over a museum, so there's always something better! I'm an outdoors type and like lurking about in forests (though preferably without bears)I just like to keep close to nature as the city isn't my natural habitat, though I do like cities for the meeting of cultures.

I'm into alternative sub-culture, I have tattoos and piercings but please don't let this intimidate you! I'm a welcoming, happy person who is very open-minded and know all types of people, and am eager to talk to anyone with a common interest.

PHILOSOPHY

I try my best to live with the philosophy that you only live once, and that if you don't take a chance it may never come around again. Treat others as you would like to be treated (if not better) and though you might not find answers to life's mysteries at least you'll be happy and have a good time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm happy to meet up for a coffee and a guided tour.

Still umming and ahhhing whether to open my living room up for surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've not had many couch surfing experiences, the main two being Malmo, Sweden at a friends house for a week and a week in Brno, Czech Republic and Prague at a friend of a friend's house. Oh and 5 days in San Francisco! Yurp!

Interests

I love hula hooping! Music, reading, films, eating-out, clubs, circus skills, I'd like to learn to surf, art, animals (I have 3 pets), museums, geekery, being out and about, lots of the usual stuff!

I'm not very big on going out to bars - I'm tee-total so its not the best place for me. On that note I'm also a vegan (outside of Czech Republic), so please don't invite me to hog roasts!

Music, Movies, and Books

I read, watch and listen to anything. Very open minded. I don't have a TV though so I'm not the most up-to-date on trends :P

But you've always got me with a Simpsons quote ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life on a day-to-day scale.

Burning Man 2012 - how can 50,000 people create such a brilliant, temporary town in a desert?
