About Me

I'm 24 years old and live in Birmingham, United Kingdom. I work as a Support Worker for adults with learning disabilities, autism and challenging behaviour, but am moving to Barcelona to do something a little easier!

I have lived in Ghana for a year in 2012 working for an educational NGO and also backpacked for a year around South and Central America, visiting Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Nicaragua.

I have recently gotten into cycling and just returned from an eight week cycle from the Hook of Holland to Budapest with three friends, we wild camped, couch surfed and used the Warmshowers app to get around and meet as many locals as possible. It was a fantastic experience.

I love scuba diving and so far have completed my Open water qualification in Colombia and my Advanced Diver qualification in Thailand and would love to become a fully qualified diver in the future.

I have an alright level of Spanish, enough to travel with anyway! I'm very chilled, love hearing travelling stories to gain inspiration from and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couch surfing so i can meet new people who i would not normally get the chance to meet if i was staying in hostels or hotels. I want to meet people who i can have fun with and practise my Spanish and generally have a laugh with!
