About Me

I am a 20 year old student living in London. I love my friends, my bike(s!), travelling (obviously), playing and making music, learning new languages and meeting new people.

I live a fairly standard student life in a house with my friends, but I like seeing all that London has to offer and getting away as much as I can on my tiny student budget. I am a super keen cyclist and am part of my university cycling team. I really want to discover more of Europe on two wheels, so if anyone doesn't mind having a bike on their couch let me know!

I eventually want to do my PhD in Denmark or Germany so those are the two countries I am interested in visiting the most.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have cycled the width of Ireland in a day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning Danish and German at the moment and want to become fluent in both. I'd really appreciate speaking Danish with someone as you're all so good at English it's very hard to actually practise my Danish!
I can help anyone with their English, I can teach piano, I can braid hair, I can teach some physics.
