Overview
About Me
Hi!
I'm a twenty year old from Oxford, UK, currently taking a break from travelling to study in Amsterdam, with plans to return to exploring as much of the world as I can as soon as I finish. In the past couple of years I've spent time in Australia, Bali, Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Morocco working at surf camps, on farms, teaching English and living out of my backpack for as long as possible (and always with a smile).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Wherever I travel it's so important for me to meet the local people and get a true local experience of the places I visit. I also think CS is a great way to make crazy friends and share wild travel stories that never get old.
