About Me

I’ve lived my whole life in suburban London. I’ve met people from all over the World... but I want to meet people in other countries and experience life from a different perspective. So I’m on a backpacking trip - overlanding as much as possible from London to New Zealand via Europe and Asia. Inspired by Michael Palin, Bill Bryson, and other travelers! I love the great outdoors and I run a lot!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet the people from all over the world and to see the world from different perspectives.

Interests

I'm curious about so many things! I'm an improving runner, writer and photographer. I’m interested in people and making new friends
