Eurovision here I come!

About Me

I'm hitchhiking to Helsinki for ChildAid. Please sponsor me! www.justgiving.com/eurohitchYo hello. I live in good old London town after growing up (slightly) in Halstead, a small town in the NICE part of Essex, and coming via the west country and Denmark. I love travel and my favourite place in the world is Latvia. I've been there 3 times now and I think everyone should visit! I did a hitchhiking race to Riga from Portugal last summer, so much fun! I have developed an unhealthy obsession with Eurovision, which is fun but getting quite expensive. Ah well, I can always save money by hitching to Helsinki! ***Update*** I stupidly said that if Scooch got through to Eurovision I would hitch to Helsinki dressed as an airhostess. I didn't expect them to do it... I've deleted my companies section now cos it was beginning to look silly. I've had a few different jobs including... banana factory, teaching kids to shoot guns, selling double glazing, legal secretary, counting taxis, strawberry picking, giving away free water, I worked in a cinema for a week. At the moment I'm temping for Visit London (as of 25/3/07 in case I forget to update this!) and work for a music tv channel most weekends. I still do a bit of promotional work sometimes; the last one involved wearing a dressing gown and slippers in the street and using computers which men had to carry on their backs with the screen above their heads. I bought a DDR dance machine from an arcade a few months ago and need to do something with it soon... As you can see, my career path is a bit muddled and one day I think I should get a proper job but I get bored very quickly so I don't know what to do. Hmm...

I also like anyone who enjoys karaoke (as long as they don't outshine me) people who can cook nice vegetarian food and people who pick up hitchhikers. NO MAGICIANS PLEASE. I like hare krishnas apart from when they're asking for money. Mad people and certain types of drunks. Latvians. I would like to have a friend who runs mobile karaoke. But who is not a chav.
