I love meeting people from all over the world at hostels, but can't help but feel like they don't provide the best opportunities to get to know local people, and get a true sense of the culture at each place. I'm coming to the end of my Bachelor's degree, and looking forward I'm desperate to live abroad, and studying a masters somewhere in Scandinavia seems like an ideal way to make the leap (before Brexit...)

I'm very easy going, and always curious - I'm always down for a chat about science or politics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to take a trip around Scandinavia to decide where I want to live and study, and I'd love to get to know local people, and get a real perspective on what life, (and not just tourism) is in places where I'm potentially moving to.

I'm also really looking to learn as much as I can from couchsurfers, so would love to check out what others have to recommend, especially live music. I'd love to check out a gig of new music at your local venue.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Huge fan of anything singer - songwriter, indie folk and indie rock (think Ben Howard, Nick Mulvey, Rainbow Kitten Suprise) but I spend a lot of time listening to music, and tend to listen a range of genres depending on how it fits the mood.

Books
'Behind the beautiful forevers'
'I contain multitudes'
'Here comes the sun'
'The Almost Nearly perfect people' - A book that helped to spark my admiration for all things Nordic, and I'm looking forward to chatting about whether its has any truth to it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering for the weekend on a cypriot beach waiting for turtles to hatch, they never did, but I had an amazing time with friends sleeping in only a sheet under the stars.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm full of trivia, particularly in biology. I'm naturally a very curious person, and am determined to not die a monoglot!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, funny stories and I'm more than willing to help out as much as possible.
