I am a Scottish Theatre and Circus nerd on my happy travels to Canada on a year abroad. I love reading and chatting about all aspects of life- philosophy, politics, even sport although I'm really not an expert! I want to travel as much as I can for new experiences and cultures. I love nature especially but enjoy the excitement of a big city too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing is an inspiring idea to me. I have always been too nervous to try but being on exchange has made me think now is the time! I'm excited to try and become a host when I return home.

Interests

I study theatre and hope to direct professionally after university, perhaps with a masters and PhD down the line. Circus is also my love although I haven't managed to keep it up over here. My dream career would be travelling the world to collaborate with different theatre and circus artists on new work.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach some Scots language phrases and BSL (Don't know any ASL, sorry!)
I have loads of pictures from hikes up Scottish mountains and road trips round Iceland.
I can show you how to make simple but yummy focaccia.

What I Can Share with Hosts

No chat is too deep for my taste. Always happy to share fun Scottish phrases and talk about art and books. I'm also a pretty great cook (not to blow my own trumpet) and always happy to cook and bake for new friends. I'm vegan but open to making everything :)
