CURRENT MISSION

To have adventures in Oxford & beyond

ABOUT ME

Hello I'm Anya, a 25-year-old from Yorkshire but working in Oxford. I am a laid-back, open-minded person who likes looking on the bright side. I love discovering new places, learning new languages, and making myself get out of my comfort zone.

My most recent travels were to South Africa and Swaziland for two months, and I could definitely go back to that part of the world. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to travel working as a doctor but still try to fit in short trips, recently to New York and Berlin.

Basically I get excited by any kind of travel but my top places I want to go at the moment are Iceland, Serbia, Istanbul, Sri Lanka, and Mexico.

I travel like Bear Grylls !
You are a hardcore traveler with a stomach of steel, and you'll eat a grub out of a tree long before you are even hungry. You can't remember the last time you showered, but you still look good.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You only regret the things you didn't do so say yes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf at the moment - did for the first time in Budapest and it was an amazing way to see the city.

Unfortunately my schedule combined with living in a shared house means hosting is difficult at the moment but I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and would love to go for coffee or a drink and explore Oxford with you (I'm new here too!).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Joined after a late night conversation in a hostel in Moldova then surfed in Hungary and had a great time. Keen to meet people in Edinburgh and show them around.
