CURRENT MISSION

To travel far and wide and be happy

ABOUT ME

My name is Billie, I'm 24 and from Manchester.

I enjoy meeting new people and learning new things. My life at the moment consists of travelling around meeting amazing people. I spent 3 months in Canada/America, 2 crazily beautiful weeks in Fiji and now I'm in Australia. I hope to see and experience as many things as I can on my journeys.

Having met the couch surfers who have stayed with my friends I know it is a great way to experience the world and meet all the lovely people that occupy it.

PHILOSOPHY

That life is about finding what makes you and other people free and happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting interesting people while sharing experiences and cultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couch surfing, I am looking forward to exploring the world and meeting people along the way.

Interests

I love anything 50s, the music, the clothes, a love for Buddy Holly has even resulted in a permanent marking of his face on my leg. Also society, cultures and their workings fascinate me and I am hoping to study Social Anthropology once I return home.

Since turning vegan I have found a love for baking and cooking... I spend way too much time looking on food blogs and drooling. I am possibly one of the only people to put on weight following turning vegan but my gosh have I eaten some good cake!

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading is definitely one of my favouite ways to relax. At the moment I am reading the blind assassin, by Margret Atwood and loving it. I am always open to book suggestions and enjoy swapping books with people, the more people I can chat to about a book the better.

Film wise, I'm no buff and I spose my film choice is a bit random. My favourite 2 films that I can watch over and over...and trust me I have, are Party Monster and Big Lebowski. No one is cooler than the Dude and that is just a fact!

My music preference is mainly rockabilly, psychobilly, punk, ska, reggae...to be honest I could go on, basically if I like the song I will listen to it...and probably sing it at the top of my voice, much to the dismay of anyone within ear shot. Music is a big part of my life, I love going to gigs with my friends and meeting new people through music. I have a fair few friends who are in bands or put on gigs so luckily there is always an excuse for me to get down to a gig, or even better a festival.
