About Me

Hello! I am looking to make new friends and connections around the world and to welcome new people to my home in East London.

I am interested in travel (of course) and art, and I fill my free time with reading, drawing and painting, yoga, running and cycling. I've lived abroad before and have done a lot of independent travel, though this would be my first time couch surfing.

I work with children so I have a full police check (DBS) and I am a clean and contentious person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spent six weeks inter-railing around Europe in summer 2015 and CS was a wonderful way to meet people and learn about different cultures.
I've also explored several Caribbean islands this way and I'd also like to return the favour in my lovely home in London!

Interests

Learning languages, nutrition, hip-hop and grime music, farming, drawing and painting, art and sculpture, comics and graphic novels, books and poetry, boxing, running, long distance hiking, sewing, ceramics

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was eighteen I got robbed of all my money, passport and plane tickets whilst travelling through Thailand alone. I ended up spending the next three months in a Buddhist monastery in Bangkok where I meditated for eight hours every day!
