About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life by trial and error, mainly error...

ABOUT ME

I’m 23-years old and new(ish) to London. This city has so much to offer and it feels like I’ve only just scratched the surface. I studies economics & philosophy at the University of Sheffield before going on to complete a masters in journalism. I prefer philosophy to economics, as the idea that everyone acts rationally is a little too depressing for my liking. I love meeting new people, getting a glimpse into their lives and benefitting from the insights they have to share. I'm always up for new experiences and exploring new places, just enjoying what the world has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

Talk enough and you'll end up saying something profound.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I’ve met the most amazing people surfing and hosting. Please don't hesitate to drop us a line if you're ever in London, even if you're only here for the afternoon and fancy a tour.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had an amazing experience couchsurfing in Japan and I hosted a lot of short- and long- term CSers when I was living in Kyrgyzstan.

Interests

Anything and everything. I love traveling, music, chatting, coffee & cigarettes, photography, films, reading, nights in, nights out, sun, rain, mist, fog, amazing views, the usual.
