I'm an architecture student, currently studying and living in Edinburgh. I'm originally from Tanzania but have lived and studied in Kenya for 6 years and leading into my third year in Edinburgh. I think I'm vibrant and spontaneous and I love going on trips, my time allowing. I have an almost desperate interest in adventure, having gone to the North of Scotland and the South of France for some surfing and various camping trips along beaches in Scotland, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. I love listening to stories about people's travels as well. I write when I have the time, and am constantly looking for experiences and interesting stories to fill my pages with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and experiencing different cultures.

Interests

Architecture, gorgeous landscapes and, of course, beaches that stretch out for miles. Temperatures don't bother me as much, but I do miss the warmth back home. Cycling, rock climbing, swimming, surfing, writing, reading, walking... food. I love food.
