About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world from a new perspective, learn from all the mishaps along the way and enjoy every moment of this mental journey!

ABOUT ME

Im an outgoing confident person who loves to get stuck in to life and everything it has to offer. I love a party and managed to do very well at school without sacraficing a good social life.
I was born in Bromley, London, and moved to Kent shortly after. At four years old, i lived on a boat with my parents for two years while we sailed across the Atlantic and around the Carribian- giving me my lust for travelling now! I lived in Dublin for a while and then moved back to Kent but spent my teenage years on the Isle of Wight.
I am currently travelling alone in South America (to the horror of my friends and family) and enjoying everything this incredible continent has to offer and learning alot about life. Next year I will be moving to Manchester to do my 3 year degree at uni

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life because I`ve been lucky enough to be given it. Some people don`t have the oppertunities I have and I will not waste a moment of these few precious years. Hopefully I can help as many people as possible along the way so life won`t be so bad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As i am travelling at the moment in Spanish speaking countries... there`s no better way to really get to know the culture and practice the language than to stay with the great locals! Hopefully we can learn a thing or two about eachother and I`d be more than willing to help anyone out with a few English lessons in exchange for a bit more Spanish (he estudiado español desde hace seis años en inglaterra... y necisito practicar mucho mas!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

NONE! BRING IT ONNNN

Interests

Music is a HUGE part of my life. I love meeting new people, experiencing new cultures, tasting new foods and dancing to different beats from around the world. My main interest is living life and enjoying it ... trying not to sound too cheesey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived on a boat for two years when i was four- the youngest person to cross the Atlantic in the ARC race and did Trinidad Carnival when i was 7- the only white girl that could shake it like a polaroid picture so i´m told
