I am a British Londoner. I have recently graduated from an Art degree in Birmingham.
I am currently saving to go travelling, starting in November I will be going to HK,NZ, Fiji, Australia, Bali, Kuala Lumpar, Bangkok, Vietnam and India with my boyfriend (Gordon)also a British Londoner with Canadian and Scottish background.
I am travelling to get a better sense of the world I live in. I love to travel, however I have only done small month trips in the past this is my chance to do a big backpacking round the world experience, I can't wait!
I am aspiring to be a campaigner for ecological issues. am currently doing some small campaigns for the bees decline! I think travelling will broaden my mind and help me to become a better campaigner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet new people on my travels especially locals who have a good understanding of the city. So they can give us advice about the surrounding area!

I am happy to give them any information on London and some of the rest of the UK I have also travelled around quite a lot of Europe so can help there too.

I love to be sociable and make new friends, I cant wait to meet you!
