I am currently studying my MPhil in Archaeology at the University of Cambridge in the U.K. I really enjoy traveling and have been since the age of four, and I love to see the world through local eyes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to explore and I enjoy meeting new people along the way. With couchsurfing I find I can see new lives as well as the culture and lifestyle of foreign countries.

Interests

I have many interests!

I love drawing, digital and film photography. I constantly try to do as much art as possible as I believe creating is important in life.

I also love the performing arts, such as dancing and singing. I have been singing my whole life, and have won awards, performed many solo recitals for voice, and have led my school choir. I love singing anything from arias to art songs. I also love dance, even though I am not very good. I am currently learning belly dancing!

I am also very interested in history and archaeology and would love to chat about it.

Other interests include reading, writing poetry, collecting thimbles ( i have a collection of over 100), raising chickens, cooking, learning new languages, and traveling of course!
