I'm currently on a year out and have spent the majority of it travelling and volunteering with my boyfriend.

I'm really interested in exploring and learning about our world- be that in the my own country or on the other side of the globe. I think it's so important to mix with people from all walks of life and learn from them. I love how much you can learn from travelling.

I'm passionate about helping others and have dedicated a lot of the past few years volunteering, both in my community and overseas.

In September I'm going to begin my studies in sociology and politics. Around my degree I want to continue to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think it's such a cool way to really immerse yourself in different cultures and find out first hand about the place you're visiting. It's also a great way to meet new people and learn.

Interests

Animals, nature, exploring, reading, global affairs, socialising, learning.

Music, Movies, and Books

Rock, pop punk, indie, punk (my boyfriend has a super varied and wonderful music taste, I'm sure you'll prefer discussing his than mine).

Recent books I've loved include- The Alchemist, Eleven Minutes, The Art of Happiness, The Power of Now, The Help, Original Wisdom, The Celestine Prophecy.
