Born and raised in London, but believe in balancing the energy of the city and the perspective you can get in nature. I love the outdoors, and go hiking regularly. I haven't been travelling in a while as I've been focussed on my work, but I'm hoping to take some time out this year to experience other people's lifestyles and environments. I'd pretty open to anything and everything! I'd say I'm quite prone to abstract thinking and I like talking about ideas, I also by many accounts have a 'chilled' disposition, but I wouldn't always agree with that!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first used couchsurfing in Mexico while travelling in my gap year and found it to be the most amazing experience. I met some really lovely people, and got to see places through the eyes of their inhabitants. I think it's a brilliant example of what the internet can do, and it wouldn't have been the same trip without it.

Now I'm planning to go on a short trip (15 days) by rail from London, up to Norway and Sweden and back, and hope to couchsurf on the way. Anyone who can put me up that would be amazing!
