About Me

21 year old English girl travelling the world. Been living in Beijing for a year and travelling Asia along the way. Now I'm in New York studying Acting at AADA before travelling the west coast via car.

Open-minded, vegetarian, hula hooping, travelling, overly excited-by-life hippie looking for wonderfully interesting and open-minded people to stay with. Ideally I would like to stay with someone who I can get to know and hang out with a bit however I understand if you're working/busy - would still be very appreciative of a bed.

People are awesome and I love learning about different cultures, countries, religions and beliefs. I study acting so I'm naturally very interested in people and places, which is why I love to travel so much. I also paint (mainly portraits) and have started dabbling in film photography so it'd be cool to meet someone with the same interests, or someone who would be cool with me photographing/painting them.

I make a mean cup of tea and marmite on toast.

I love hiking, camping, exploring and adventuring. I am from the North East of England in the North Yorkshire Moors so I grew up camping and hiking with my family, so if you wanna go on a hike with me that would be awesome.

I LOVE CHINA and I miss it very much. Hoping to move back in a year or so.

I do volunteer work wherever I can so please let me know if theres anything I can help out with while I'm in your city! Soup kitchens or anything!

Hmmmmm what else about me. I'm super smiley and good conversation and a bit of a clean freak so I'll keep your place nice!! I listen to a lot of Bob Marley and I love cheese.

I think thats all the most important stuff!! Look forward to meeting many of you lovely people. Peace xxxxx

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting and staying with locals/new people to have fun and chill with. Some of the best experiences I've had on the road have been while staying with locals or wonderful people I have met along the way.

I will be moving back to London in September so as soon as I have an address I will be hosting!!!
