Hi!

I was born in London, and have lived there most of my life, so I thrive off city life. But my family are all from Scotland, and my granny lives on a small island there so I also need my time in the hills and the heather.

I am a passionate person - I care a lot about the work that I do, but also about the state of the world that we live in. I'm involved in lots of campaigns around issues of social justice.

I love to have fun - to go out dancing, to explore, to sing bad karaoke, to meet new people. I am a very open and outgoing person with quite the sense for adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new(ish) to couchsurfing. I travelled across the USA last year with my friend, and we surfed in a few of the cities we went to on our travels. We had a really great time, and I was so amazed at the insight you get to a place by staying with people who are from there.

I think that it can be really hard to travel if, like me, you are a poor student, or not a high earner. But it can also be hard to be in a new place on your own. In my mind couchsurfing solves both of those problems, and creates such an amazing sense of community!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll tell you when I meet you!

Teach, Learn, Share

My work is understanding people - so just meeting lots of new people and hearing about their lives teaches me so much.

Keen to share a beer, a joke, a laugh!

Always keen to learn about new places, the sights, the people, and the politics.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a PhD student in psychology - so got a lot of knowledge to share about mental health and the mind which I am always keen to share!

I am pretty good at cooking - keen to cook for any hosts.
