CURRENT MISSION

to do all the things my parents were too afraid to do

ABOUT ME

I'm 21, back in London after three years in the sticks. I work in financial services, but don't want to turn into the sort of person who works in financial services. I love live music, chilled out parties, long nights talking at the pub, exploring "nature" on Blackheath, eating ice cream, going to new places and seeing new things and most of all meeting nice new people.

PHILOSOPHY

You are free, so choose.

If you always treat people in a way you'd be happy for them to treat you, you won't go too far wrong.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have to persuade my housemate to allow me to host, then you can sleep on our couch :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed twice so far, once in Hungary and once in Austria and had a great time at both places, and both my hosts were lovely! In Austria they made us food and in Hungary we invented new cocktails.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to sew, how to make patchwork quilts, how to do the splits and how to do philosophy, none of which is remotely useful but all of which I enjoy! I'm good at cooking.
