About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Running from milton keynes

ABOUT ME

I'm a 23 year old landscape architecture student and I recently moved to Alta for a summer long internship.

I'm quite fortunate that I've been able to live and travel a lot in the past few years, partly because I've been running away from my (not so interesting) hometown of Milton Keynes.

Im really into scandinavian design culture and language

I think making things is my favourite pursuit. i really enjoy Sewing, drawing, painting and printing.

I am a long devoted vegetarian for the past 6 years, because of my love for the environment and animals. I enjoy everything that surrounds vegetarian cooking. The growing preparing and cooking! Food culture to me is very important!

I am active! soI do a lot of cool sports like archery, rock climbing and long distance running.

PHILOSOPHY

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been incredible. The couch surfing community is awesome. Everyone so far has bought something to the table. I've learnt something from everyone i've meet so far.

Interests

I keep very active because i have a lot of spare time here in alta. I enjoy any kind of sport which allows you to travel and experience a bit of the outdoors

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The happiest I've ever been was when I was living in the Black Forest in Germany. I worked on a small organic farm, and I loved that time there. My needs worries and lifestyle was so different to life back home. Everything was a lot more simple and refreshing. waking up in the morning and going a swim in a natural spring every morning was such a uplifting beautiful experience.
