About Me

I love the outdoors, hiking, running, yoga, languages and all things creative such as pottery and life drawing. I travelled a lot as a student and now make trips around the UK and Europe a few times a year. I'm rarely able to host right now but will meet up and show you the city when I can!

I first discovered couchsurfing in 2015 (8 years ago - eeek!) through my flat mate when I was living in France. (Thank you Andrei!) I have hosted in Glasgow, and surfed in the US, Russia, Mexico, Ukraine and Germany just to name a few. I truly have made some friends for life through CS and I love being part of this community!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use Couchsurfing to make connections and have cultural experiences with other like-minded people. It is NOT a dating app.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a self-confessed language nerd and I love learning new words and phrases in the local language while travelling!

I get a lot of requests to stay and I am selective with who I will allow into my home. I won’t host you if you have an incomplete profile/no reviews, if it’s clear you haven’t read my profile or if you are just looking for free accommodation. If you are a French or Spanish speaker and happy to help me practice, you’ll have a greater chance of me hosting you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company ! Maybe some scotch if you’re lucky :)
