My name is Alice. I have just moved to the vibrant city of Bristol. I was living in the small quintessentially English/ancient Roman city of Bath. Although I grew up in the city of Brighton. All of which I highly recommend visiting if you visit the UK.

I am a support worker for mixed disabilities and also work in drugs harm reduction. I am interested in one day pursuing a career in psychotherapy/counselling. But for now I am more focused on exploring the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here for 2 reasons- to find people to stay with to get a more authentic side to countries I visit. I need to avoid the tourist tracks.
-To potentially host people at my own home which is a highly popular place to visit.
