I have currently just finished my PhD and am looking to do some travelling in south america in the next few months. I love to travel and meet new people and experience new cultures, but its been a (long) while since this was really possible...Iv’e visited many countries already but theres still so much more of the world to see...
Im always up for an adventure and love meeting new like minded people.

I enjoy rock and ice climbing, and generally being in the mountains. My childhood hobbies were tap, ballet and jazz dancing to which i still enjoy the occasional class :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and think that travelling is enriched if you find locals who you can share your experience with.
