About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm studying Environmental Geography at UCL in London. I did a round the world trip with my friend Rose for my gap year before uni. Met some awesome people and saw some amazing things. Doing something new everyday, not planning and not knowing what's gonna happen is the best way to live life :) I'm a friendly, cheerful person... really easy to get along with I hope! Love to do new things and find out how to do them myself, and always up for a laugh :)

PHILOSOPHY

I live each day as it comes and take a lot of chances. You never know what might happen, could be the best choice you've ever made (could be the worst as well...but we ignore that...)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing helped me out while travelling and i met some amazing people through it. Cant't wait to help other travellers out to give something back!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with some guys living in Singapore that we met in Malaysia, couchsurfed in Australia, New Zealand and LA. Had a great time with all of them, was great to have locals show us around.

Interests

Music - I love to listen to it, learn it and play it (I play flute and guitar)
I go running and swimming a lot at home (less while travelling but i've dragged a few people running with me!) Have got into Scuba diving in the last few months. Amazing. Most sports i will have a go at.
And, of course, travelling. There's nothing like being somewhere completely new, different, and not knowing what you're gonna see or who you're gonna meet. I've had the best times of my life so far on this trip and there's only more to come :)
