DISCLAIMER: I made this account several years ago and didn't use it until last year. I am currently 19 years old.

hey! i'm a quiet extrovert who loves meeting interesting new people, having long existential conversations over coffee or wine, swimming in the sea, cycling around, and just learning more about the world around me through gaining new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to get to know incredible, funky people, learn invaluable new things, and travel from a local's point of view. for my upcoming trips i'm largely travelling by myself, and so would really appreciate good company and a guiding hand when i'm by myself in an unfamiliar city. i also hope to be able to contribute back in some way to my hosts whether that's cooking for them, playing the piano, or just telling them stories from my (relatively) short lived life (so far). i am also happy to sleep on any surface!

Interests

i love
- wild swimming
- coming of age films (huge huge fan of Xavier Dolan, as well as Harmony Korine, Larry Clark, Sofia Coppola - I could talk about films all night)
- dancing to groovy music (please, please, please take me dancing)
- horoscopes (i'm a Gemini)
- botanical gardens
- midnight hikes by moonlight
- riding the train alone
- modern art galleries

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked (half of) the Camino de Santiago. I walked with my boyfriend from Leon to Santiago de Compostela, 322km. My feet wept, I cried, but it was an invigorating and exciting experience that pushed me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

i promise i'll always try to pull my own weight! if i can contribute in any way, whether that's cooking or cleaning, playing the piano for you, or having deep chats, i'll always be on hand to try. where possible i'll always try to contribute towards food/transport costs. i'm happy to be independent but would greatly appreciate vibrant company to bond with :---)
