Overview
About Me
Born in London and moved up to Newcastle aged 10. Now studying Medicine at the University of Edinburgh. Keen traveler, having visited nearly 40 countries with my family and solo travel on my year out. This summer is the last time I will be able to be abroad for a longer period of time (over 2 month) probably until I retire so I want to make the most of it and explore as much as I can.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing provides the best opportunity to really get to know and understand a city through the most qualified people - the locals. They will have the knowledge of the best food places, hidden gems and everything else.
Interests
Sports!!! I play rugby, squash, badminton, table tennis, tennis and am I to play anything else. I also spend a lot of time reading books (especially a bit of fiction) and being social.

Music, Movies, and Books
Don't mind a bit of dance/electro. I'll watch anything and read anything as well.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sky diving in New Zealand. Probably the biggest adrenaline pumping activity that you could do.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love trying to teach people some Finnish, very difficult, but rewarding at the same time. Learning: probably new cultures and how different communities behave. Share: travel experiences and food.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Enthusiasm and a genuine interest in local culture
