About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see more of the world, meet new people and have adventures

ABOUT ME

I was living in Brighton and working in a language training company, but decided to give that all up and go on an adventure through Central America, California, Fiji and Australia with my friend Lauren.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had a profile for ages, meaning to use it when I was travelling in Europe but never did. I'm now keen to couchsurf on this trip as everyone keeps telling me such good things about it :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was with Rob in San Diego who hosted my friend Lauren and I in Dec 2013. It was a great introduction to the world of CS and I'm keen to experience more of it during the rest of our trip
