Overview
About Me
I'm a student at Glasgow University studying Economic and Social History with Spanish. I've loved travelling and learning languages since I was 17 and I temporarily moved to Puerto Montt, Chile to work with Fundacion Coanil. My favorite thing about travelling is learning about the culture, history and politics in other countries. When I graduate from university I would love to live abroad and move every few years to see as much of the world as possible.
Life goals include: achieving world peace and learning 100+ languages fluently.
More realistic goals include: learning to surf/scuba dive and visiting the Moai on Easter Island.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think Glasgow is a really underrated city in Scotland and the UK, it's a city I wasn't that excited to live in before I came here but now I love it and I'd love to meet people who have decided to visit and travel Scotland and show them around a bit.
