About Me

Flight-free digital nomad from Brighton in the UK. My interests are environmental sustainability, music (I play sax, sing, and a little bit of guitar, and love going to gigs and music festivals), being creative (photography, drawing, painting, graphic design), travelling, learning languages, cycling, and getting out into the countryside/by the sea.

I'm generally quite a calm, friendly, open-minded and laid-back person, and I love meeting new people, making new friends and having adventures - whether big or small :-)

Love using this app to meet locals and fellow travellers/nomads along my way, have had so many great experiences with CS and looking forward to many more!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before joining CS I was also part of Hospitality Club (a very similar website) and have found both HC and CS to be a great way to travel - getting to know local people and cultures, and having much more interesting experiences than staying in hostels! I have also made some wonderful friends through the site, and find it a great way to connect with like-minded people from all around the world :)
