I'm an 18 year-old backpacker from Wales in the UK, currently backpacking my way around Australia on my gap year. After Australia I'll visit New Zealand and Africa! I've just finished high school, and am going to University when I get home from my trip to study Bioveterinary Science.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I lived with friends at the beginning of my trip and got to meet all the amazing locals around me. Now I'm living in hostels, I've only met other backpackers and feel I want to meet more local people, who always know the best places to go and know the local area better than other backpackers.

Interests

I enjoy any sport involving the great outdoors, including surfing, kite surfing, mountain biking, skiing, hiking. I love horse riding and have my own at home, and I have a dog who I miss dearly! I took up yoga a year ago, and absolutely love it!
I love baking and cooking and make a mean chocolate fudge cake...

Music, Movies, and Books

I love pretty much any type of music, and absolutely love all rock music.
I'm a complete book worm and will read anything I can get my hands on, I could never pick a favourite book though!
My favourite film will always be The Lion King, I'm a little kid at heart! I love comedy films and absolutely hate horror films or gore...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't choose one! I've done so many amazing things in my life. But so far on this trip the most amazing thing has to be swimming with wild dolphins and seals.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play the drums and the piano, I speak Italian and Spanish (badly, I'll admit) and am learning Portuguese.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can talk the hind legs off an elephant about anything that interests me! I'll share my experiences of the places I've visited and the things I've done (I'll bake you something cool and I make a mean cup of tea too)
