About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience new things and learn new languages.

ABOUT ME

I study at Oxford University and I have passion for travel and learning languages. I have lived abroad and love immersing myself in new cultures and meeting people. My greatest delight is sitting late into the night talking. I have spent the last four years studying Arabic at university, I have travelled extensivly in the Middle East and I am hoping to head back there soon and see the new Middle East in all its glory!

PHILOSOPHY

Not sure for certain, but certainty is a dangerous and restricting thing. For now I´ll say make friends and try to open conversations with people you come into contact with because people are the most interesting part of being alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a desire to talk to new people and living in a historic and world famous city like oxford I feel I have a wonderful opportunity that I can allow others to share and see more than just the dry academic ancient Oxford but also the vibrant young life that co-exists with a world famous university.
