I'm a travel lover keen on documenting my experiences all over the world that will give me a life of rich stories, memories and friends; however as a university graduate I don't have the budget for the luxuries (travel/accomodation) I would like, so I'm hoping friendly and welcoming Couchsurfing host will help me!

The Basic Outline:
I am a tidy, clean living, non-smoking, vegan who likes of activities that keep me in good shape (running, yoga, pilates, ballet) as well as enjoying natures beauty and eating lots of delicious food! I think life is best when you have a natural tan from amazing adventures, experiencing all that a place has to offer and trying new things (if I could spend my life in a bikini, eating I would). I am trying to live as sustainable as possible and have a positive impact on people and my situations.

I love to be out all day everyday and dancing all night going to festivals, street markets and being involved in my surroundings, but can also spend my time enjoying a clean beach a quiet meal and my own space. It really depends on who I am with and my mood. But whatever I am doing I am taking lots of pictures and filming my time to keep in a scrapbook and look back on when I am old with a big smile. I love to dress up for events and parties but can also keep it very casual in shorts and a vest top.

What I do when not travelling:
My first love (aside from globetrotting) is acting and films, I have spent my life devouring theatre, film and television in order to become a working actress. However I wanted to also gain a university education in London, which I have graduated from UAL last year. 'Professionally' I have set up my own branding and communications agency (www.alignedcommunications.co.uk) using my industry knowledge of working in fashion and journalism since the age of 15 along with my degree in BA (Hons) Fashion Public Relations & Communications in order to design my own timetable doing something new that I love everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on a shoestring budget... That pretty much sums it up. I love to travel, but today that's often an expensive hobby. I have found that my experiences of living in local areas with local people has been far more rewarding and added to my times away from home and I want to keep it up. Firmly living by the quote: I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list!

Interests

I am obsessed with sunshine, sand, seas, shopping (Selfridges is my favourite store) and stars. I love to go out, be it to clubs, bars and restaurants or just in the fresh air, I hate being stuck inside wasting time. I'm always up for exploring new places, finding cool places to eat and party. I love to dance and sing, go to the theatre, see musicals and keep fit.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC:
My music taste is completely varied. I love listening to EDM and House music (I could listen to live DJs every night of the week) but also love indie bands, acoustic stuff and covers. I also love musicals and soundtracks as well, which is kind of random. I mostly spend my summers at music festivals dancing in fields and tents.

FILM:
I am a HUGE film fan. I studied film at college and love pretty much every genre. I could spend all day watching Netflix if I had the time and not a million and one other things to do. So if you like going to the cinema or watching films, I'm sure we will get on. I know almost everything there is to know about film, I could talk about it all day.

BOOKS:
I love reading, mostly girlish kind of books and real life stories. One of favourite authors is Maggie Alderson - she was my teenage summers, lying on the grass. My favourite titles are: To Kill a Mockingbird, Marching Powder and A Little Run Around the World.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Looking back on my adventures there's been tonnes of crazy stories! I've worked at London Fashion Week since I was 14, I've met famous people, been to wild places and done beautiful things - however one of my proudest achievements was just after my 19th birthday I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in 3 days.

However above all I remember the small things such as riding on the back of a motor scooter around Tanzania and when snorkeled in a a cave in Brazil as they are fears of mine that I have pushed myself to try.
