I'm easy going and independent, with a dark/dry and sometimes bizarre sense of humour!
I study in London which is an amazing city for art galleries and events, however I am happiest when I am in the countryside - especially in the mountains, and the Wye Valley in Wales where I grew up!
I often travel, and when doing so, enjoy conversation with new people and unearthing spontaneous activities (the best spontaneous activity so far was a little hedonistic festival in the remote Romanian mountains which someone once brought me to!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer the interpersonal experience of staying locally because it is not only cheap and cheerful (student budget friendly!), but also allows for some great conversation and a different perspective to that of a simple tourist!

I'd love to know more about Astrology and hope to join a mountaineering society!
