About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Adventuring in Asia

ABOUT ME

Hello! This is a slight edit as I'm currently travelling with my boyfriend Buster (that's him in my profile picture) and we are using this account together. We have just spent 8 months living and teaching in Hanoi and we are now in India travelling round and working our way North until the end of April... We would love to do some couchsurfing along the way to get some insider info, properly meet some locals (everyone's been so friendly so far!) and make our experience a bit more authentic. We are friendly happy people and will be great guests, grateful for any advice and for recommendations of the best local cuisine... We LOVE food!!

Me: I have lived and worked in a few countries in Europe and love to explore. I love experiencing new cultures hence the anthropology degree but my favourite part by far is trying different cuisines. I love food!
Since studying for a year in Copenhagen with an amazing bunch of international students I now have friends all over the world. This was one of the most enriching experiences of my life and I would like to continue the trend through couchsurfing :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This entirely depends on my living situation at the time but I have been a guest, a guide, and a host to friends. Whatever fits at the time..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with hosts in Denmark and also met up with some surfers travelling in Copenhagen to take them on a night out. Also met up with travellers in Brighton for drinks and for taking them on a night out. I have only had positive experiences and am more than happy to be contacted.

Interests

The great outdoors, outer-space, good nights out, good nights in, cooking, reading, art film & music, science, seeing new places and meeting new people.. all the cliches.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camped in a tent in the middle of the Masai Mara right next to a river full of hippos and crocodiles.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: English and some cooking
Learn: Anything.. Whatever you can teach me!
Share: Good times, respect

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a great guest, generous and conscientious but definitely up for properly socialising with my hosts and learning stuff from them. I can cook for everyone, help around the house, chip in with whatever you want!
