My friends would say I'm relaxed, creative and outgoing!

I love the outdoors, hiking, yoga, pottery, languages and of course travelling. I work full time at a university and run a small business. I enjoy meeting new people and trying new things. I'm rarely able to host right now but will meet up and show you the city when I can!

I first discovered couchsurfing in 2015 (8 years ago - eeek!) through my flat mate when I was living in France. I have hosted in Glasgow, and surfed in Central America and Russia. I truly have made some friends for life through this app and feel very lucky to be part of such a wonderful community!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is NOT about free accommodation and it is a not a dating app. It is about community and making connections - sharing cultures and experiences with other like-minded people across the world.
