about me.... al sounds so cliche, i know!

hey everyone, i'm jo... i'm 22 and have just finished a degree in english literature at royal holloway, university of london. i have loved being at university, and wouldn't change my time here for the world, but i'm definitely ready for some new experiences. i have spent the past three summers working and travelling in the USA through camp america. i was a counsellor at camp pinewood in north carolina, and it was seriously the best thing i have ever done.... i have met so many amazing people from all over the world, and made friendships that i know will last a life time. it's strange how you think of yourself as a certain type of person, and then when you are thrown in to a different situtation in a different place, you have the capability to completely surprise yourself and embrace every opportunity that comes your way. i know that my time away from home in the USA is what has developed me most as a person so far in my life, and given me experiences and friendships that are priceless. i love new challenges and being thrown out of everyday normality... i try to make the best of every situation, and adapt myself to get the most out of every opportunity that comes my way, even if i don't initially see the positive sides. i'm quite outspoken, which is not always a good thing, as i must admit i can be quite superficial sometimes - but i am really a nice person i promise! i can be bit of a socialite, and love going out with my friends in london. i also love eating out - i'm obsessed with food!! although i have a morbid fear and disgust of bananas, i think they are completely vile and i don't even like being near them!! i also can tend to be a bit obsessive compulsive with regard to cleaning and organisation.... i love to tidy!!

What I'd like to change about myself

even the bad bits of your character make up who you are as a person, changing anything would change everything! although maybe i could do with being a little less superficial!

Scared of

BANANAS!!!

Happiest when

travelling the world, i want to go everywhere. i'm going to egypt soon, and next on my list are australia, brazil, fiji, iceland and italy. you need to see the world to be able to find your place in it! i <3 camp pinewood - camp america was the best thing i have done - i would recommend it to anyone.

Favourite music, movie, magazine

music - something corporate, gavin degraw, fall out boy, howie day,chili peppers, incubus, panic!, and BUSTED are life!! magazine - vogue, i love so many movies, i couldn't narrow it down... my dvd collection is vast and also alphabetised - it makes so much more sense than a disordered collection!
