I am a 5'4 blonde 18 year old with a weakness for travel in the most romantic sense. I read too much, work very hard and try to get the most out of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel. I love to meet new people and really experience a place rather than merely visit one. Everyone is desperate to pull back from tourism and take things at a natural pace, and I think this will give me the chance to get on board with that attitude. I'm a stickler for introspection - expanding my potential, learning about myself, and I think this style of travel will give me a fantastic opportunity to do just that. This is my first "big trip" away from home and I can't wait to get started.

Music, Movies, and Books

My tastes are eclectic: I love all music besides heavy metal. Reading is my favourite thing in the whole wide world, so I would probably say I'm a bit of a book snob - I love Forster, adore Murakami and can't abide Atwood. I admire Homer and feel that everyone should read Kerouac or Ginsberg. Tolstoy terrifies me.
I like Indie films, British films - again, most kinds of films. Not fussy on genre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm....toss up between walking the Besseggen Ridge and Preikestolen and taking part in the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my understanding of Spanish and German with non-speakers. I make fantastic chocolate torte and can certainly recommend a decent novel.
