About Me

I'm 23 years old, in the middle of a double degree and travelling the world. I’m not into lavish travelling but more low key backpacking. I love hiking, swimming, sightseeing and eating delicious local cuisine. I'm pretty silly but also like my down time. I do always like a night in but I'm also easily swayed if someone tempts with a beer...

I've recently finished a semester abroad in Copenhagen. Denmark was an inspiring country to me for so many reasons, I could talk for hours about it! But particularly the progressive action towards sustainable living and equitable opportunities for women. Both topics of which I am passionate about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've stayed on plenty of couches and floors but until now I hadn't thought of 'officially' couchsurfing... Hostels are perfect for meeting travellers but I'd also be cool to get to know those who actually live in the area.

I get comfortable pretty easily, thats why I'm always down to meet new people. I'm curious about other languages, cultures, food, art, music, sport, living.

Couchsurfing seems to be the perfect place for all these things!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into all kinds of music genres but especially, disco, house and those combined. Also psychedelic rock, rock, indie and melancholic tunes. Some of my favourite bands are Pond, Beach House, Gorillaz, The Babe Rainbow, Groove Armada and DJ's are Session Victim, Jamie xx, Daft Punk, Sven Väth, RY X.

Bourne Identity is definitely my favourite series. I'm also a sucker for crime shows. Since living in Denmark I'm a big fan of Danish films too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Something I did quite recently I could safely say was one of the hardest but most rewarding things I've ever done. I climbed to the summit of the highest mountain in North Africa, Toubkal (while extremely unfit!). Somehow, I still managed to get to the top over two days. The views from that height are incredible, something I'll never forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not a teacher but I'd be more than happy to help with English for those that want to learn it as a second language.
