I graduated university and decided I needed to get out of England, so decided to travel! I'm pretty chill and love meeting new people, and I figured being on couch surfing would add even more to my trip. I love learning new things and I figure that people who would host other travellers must be pretty interesting!
Up for a laugh and just looking to meet friendly like-minded people so we can have a brill time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet people, make memories, learn new things to see/do and have fun! We only get one shot at this life that we are sure of, so we may as well spend it having the best time we can and learning all we can about the world and each other.

I want to see stuff I've never seen and try stuff I've never done.

If somebody helped me out by putting me up and stretching my money further for my trip then I would happily do the same for them should they travel by my neck of the woods.

Interests

Video games, adventure time, swimming, music, mental health/ neuroscience, travelling, cycling, water sports (although I need to get better at them!), spinning, hiking, good views and good food

- Toot and the Maythals
- Rusted Root

Tonnes more. I'll let you look through my iPod if you let me look through yours!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering as a mental health worker in the National Institute of Mental Health in Sri Lanka was definitely the most amazing thing I've done. The feeling when somebody responds to therapy and is so grateful is indescribable!

I'm passionate about alleviating the stigma of mental health in the world. It's like physical health; we all get sick sometimes! It doesn't make us 'crazy.'

Teach, Learn, Share

I could happily teach English to any of my hosts who would take me on if they wanted me to!

I can also teach some stuff about mental health if you're into that! And cooking to an extent.

I would like to improve my Spanish and /or Japanese, and learn to surf and play an instrument so if anyone knows how to do any of that and can teach me while I stay, that would be fab! Getting better at water sports... to be honest I want to learn to do a lot of stuff, so anything you know about I would love to learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach English, a bit of psychology too if you'd like! I'm also a mediocre cook and I would help around the house with chores every day to say thanks for putting me up!

As long as it doesn't kill/ traumatise me, I'll do it for you to say thanks
