About Me

I am a graduate student in Social Work and am spending the rest of this year exploring the world and its wonders.

I love asking questions and am inquisitive in how life can be lived in many different ways and would love for you to share this me as I will with you.

Food, its tastes and textures are my downfall. Im up for any new food adventures and would love to share some of my cooking skills with you.

Im a keen walker and am happy to get lost in city spaces but would love your recommendations and idea's on whats best to see and visit.

Im easy-going, clean and happy to get stuck into the routine and way you do things at home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
