About Me

I am curious to learn, adventurous, and always looking for new experiences. I love to draw, walk, read, climb trees, and sit around a fire in good company.

Since I was 16 I have hitchhiked and wherever possible and always carried a sketchbook; I love the opportunity to get to know another generous open human beings and the excitement of throwing myself into the unknown and the blank page to reflect on it.

Both my parents teach forms of movement meditation and I have inherited a strong interest in the spiritual aspects of life from them.

I hope to travel more in Spain to further widen my experiences and practice my Spanish language skills (which is currently very limited but improving fast through tuition, Michelle Thomas, and lots of films in Spanish).

I am currently an interdisciplinary student at University College London focussing on maths, art, computer science, and interdisciplinarity itself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
