About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel to the most beautiful and remote places on earth!

ABOUT ME

I travelled around South America for 7 months in 2011-2012 and it was the best time of my life! I met the most incredible people and grew as a person and I want to keep travelling until there is nowhere new left to visit!

I've visited India and a lot of Europe, driven around Iceland (twice) but really want to go to Central America next. I feel so alive and free travelling and I've met the most amazing people.

I'm fun, easy going, pretty silly and always smiling and can't wait to meet you! :)

PHILOSOPHY

I like to stay off the beaten track and see the world in all it's beauty and rawness. Living in London my whole life makes me really appreciate getting lost in some nature and silence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS is AMAZING! I have met only a few people, but I have had so much fun. One of my favourite memories is when I learnt and danced salsa on the streets of Quito until 6am!! I think CS will change the way I travel and see the world.
