About Me

I like to meet new people, learn new languages and get to know different cultures. I like to volunteer my time for causes that I believe in. I am funny, friendly and easy-going. My English accent is quite strong but I am easy enough to understand. I am currently travelling, taking a break from working at my international development charity. I write songs and poems, record music and work as a freelance video production assistant when I have good wifi. I am vegan and into sustainability and simple/minimalist living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I came to Greece to volunteer on Lesvos for the refugee crisis. Since the escalations, I have returned to Athens. I am now looking for a place to stay for the next couple of weeks whilst volunteering on a placement in the city.
