Overview
About Me
Hi everyone. My major interests have been in health; I’m a previous yoga teacher, massage therapist and I studied Neuroscience for my undergraduate and a Physician Associate masters. Working at a primary care in London. I like meditation retreats and walking in nature and seeing new areas around London.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is like having a stranger be your best friend for a day.
It has been a great way to meet a lot of lovely people around the world.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Its is a free home-stay, you get a sense of a culture, and area through the eyes of a local in a new environment. I love it, for all the same reasons I love to travel.
