I recently finished my MA in London, studying Eastern European Politics. I loved London a lot but I moved to Kosovo at the beginning of September.

I've previously lived in The Netherlands, Bath, Paris and Prague where I was studying or working. I was always very sporty growing up - I love squash, skiing, snowboarding, tennis and volleyball. I'm happiest when hiking in the mountains.

I've travelled a fair bit - I've seen most of Western, Central and South Eastern Europe and a lot of North America. My favourite places in the world are the Balkans and South America.

I've been (mostly) vegetarian for the last three years, and I'm slowly phasing out dairy too. Very into politics (mainly UK, US and EU) so always happy to chat about that!

My previous housemate Izzy has accepted people for couchsurfing and her references sometimes include me if you want to learn more! https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/izzy-kiff

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My housemate and I were accepting people to stay as we both intend to use it in the future - we want to give back to the community as much as possible given that London is so horrendously expensive for travellers!
