From London but currently living in Manchester. I've just finished a Masters degree in Poetry and am in a transition phase of thinking about what to do next to earn money and support the economically unsound life of a writer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm quite new to Couchsurfing and haven't done much hosting (partly because I don't have a stable roof of my own at the moment) but I thought my Mexico trip would be the perfect time to try it because I will be in such a new place and probably experience a massive culture shock, so it would be even more useful to have a local around to keep me grounded!
I love travelling and meeting new people and learning languages and also about language itself. I'm a very independent traveler and like doing and seeing as much as I can, but it would be lovely to meet a friendly face at the end of the day to have a beer with!
