About Me

Hey fellow CouchSurfers!

I am a 24 year old living in Bristol. I'm on this site as I love showing people around my city - the less touristy places - and I'm keen to share my local knowledge with visitors!

I am also in the process of buying a van so at some point I'd like to travel around mainland Europe and will use this website to meet locals who hopefully are happy to show me around their city and share their knowledge :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For experiences you won't find in a travel brochure. So far I've slept on a few couches, attended countless socials and successfully not met any strange people on the internet (two thumbs up).. Bar that one guy who invited my to a sex party in Amsterdam, but I suppose that was nice of him to ask.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept through an earthquake and swam with wild sting rays for a dare.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how to cook vegan and make people ask "wait.. that was vegan?" It's kind of my special power.

I would love to improve my German as I quite enjoyed my last visit to Germany and I can feel what little German I know slipping away day by day..

I'm not sure what I can share.. I'm an only child.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to discuss pretty much anything and I'm one of those people who can come away from a debate and actually consider that maybe I was wrong. If you're also one of those people, we will probably get on very well :) That being said, if you're a straight white dude who thinks their opinion on the experience of a queer women of colour trumps mine - we should probably not meet IRL >.
