CURRENT MISSION

Find a career and travel the world.

ABOUT ME

I recently graduated in Spanish and Russian from Bristol Uni. I'm currently taking a year out to apply for jobs and travel. Love getting to know people from different places, Keen sports fan, especially football (soccer) and cricket. I'm laid-back and get on with most people. I lived in Russia for 4 months and Madrid for 5 months as part of my year abroad and I caught the travel bug big-time. Since then I've been studying and working, saving up money for a couple of big trips. In the past year I have spent a month and a half in South America (Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia) and 3 months in Asia (Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, India - have to go back and do India again as I was only there for (an amazing) 4 days!!) About to go off to USA and hopefully take in Eastern Europe in the summer, before starting a job in September.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A little bit of surfing. Would like to host when I'm living in a more suitable place (I live with my mum and she doesn't understand the concept of CouchSurfing).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed a little in Russia, which was an amazing way to see the places I travelled to from a local perspective. The people I surfed with were great people and I hope to find more interesting people in the future.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn from other people and share new experiences with them. I hope I can teach you a bit about my culture, maybe a game of cricket or a few old English phrases!
