ABOUT ME

I am a 21 year old History and Philosophy student from the University of Leeds, in the North of England. I am currently on a study abroad scheme at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Whilst in the United States I want to make the most of my time and therefore have decided to spend my Winter break travelling the East Coast. I want to fully explore American culture, visit new places, meet new people and basically have an amazing life changing adventure.

Although new to couch surfing, I would be happy to reciprocate and host future people, either in my home city London or in my student housing in rainy Leeds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently, I am on a study abroad scheme in America until June, and therefore cannot yet host anyone. However, once I get back to England my couch will be available for all the hospitable Americans who have let me stay in New York, Philidelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC. I feel like couchsurfing would be culturally enriching, enabling me to make international friends and learn more about the places I am staying from the eyes of a local.

Interests

My main passion is travelling and from a young age I have traveled all over the world with my parents. Since becoming a adult I have started to venture around the world independently. In 2013 I spent my summer teaching English in Peru and also travelling around South America, which included trips to the Amazon, Salt Flats and Macchu Picchu. This summer I spent my time off in the North of Uganda, living and working within a rural village in order to help improve educational structures and facilities. I basically live to travel and want to explore the whole world and meet lots of new people along the way.
