About Me

A 22 year old woman from the UK with a spontaneous, outgoing, friendly personality.

I love new adventures, seeking thrills, adrenaline and opening my eyes to the world. During lockdown, I went on a 36 hour bus trip from London to Warsaw to work in Poland. I then travelled to Germany and have completed 2 workaways there. During this time, I also visited Denmark, the Netherlands, Austria, Slovakia, Lithuania, (attempted to get into Belarus but was rejected at the border) + back to the UK for a week (to work).

I have worked in lots of different jobs; as an auditor for BDO, a teacher, a chef, a waitress, a barrista, a solicitor's assitant, renovating a house, a private carer, a pizza delivery driver, a gardener. I love to learn new skills and I will try and learn how to write code in the new year. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty (my mum would definitely describe me as a tom-boy). I played full contact rugby for 8 years, love to weightlift at the gym and do lots of adventurous sports.

I am not ready to settle down just yet, I have plenty more things to learn and plenty of new people to meet. Whilst I am young, active, healthy and happy, I will continue to travel as much as my finances (Brexit and Covid) will allow :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left University to go on a gap 'year'.... almost 19 months ago. I bought a one way ticket to New Zealand and never returned to a 'normal life'. And I never want to.

Held a deadly scorpion thinking it was a spider. Swam with sharks. I was in 4 natural disasters last year including a cyclone in Fiji and an earthquake in NZ.

Teach, Learn, Share

Love, positivity, good vibes, music, food, laughter, nature, exploring, stories, humour, beer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Crazy travel stories, good food, a positive outlook on life, fun, energy!

I am a very outgoing, talkative person and I love meeting new people - learning about different cultures/religions/experiences.
