Overview
About Me
I am soon to embark on a 8-12 month trip across South, Central and North America.
I have travelled a fair bit across, Europe, India and South East Asia. During this time I learnt that the best part of travelling was the incredible people you meet.
I'm hoping to get the most out of my experience by making new friends on Couchsurfing.com.
PHILOSOPHY
Gathering and pursing new adventures, visiting new places, meeting new people are key to enjoying life. To widen my horizons and to feel at home anywhere in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have volunteered and lived in South America, Peru with Christian Aid. I lived with a host family in a shanty town while working to build new homes and teach English to the local communities. While there I visited the Nasca Lines, trekked though the amazon, climbed the Andes and even took a dip in a glacier lake.

I love to meet new people and get to know someone new. Expect good energy and positivity.
