About Me

Im a film student from London, England currently on exchange in Missouri until the end of May and then travelling across the states until end of June, so I'm always up for making films, taking photos or doing anything related to the arts.

*I won't be able to host until I'm back home*

I love meeting new people and going on new adventures whether it be in a city or in more rural areas. I have always been drawn to the outdoors and love exploring the wilderness and most recently I hiked up to Whitaker's Point in Arkansas which has to be one of the best views I have ever seen!

I'm a bit of an old soul and get along with people regardless of age or background :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Up until the age of 18 I hadn't really travelled much as my family could never afford to go away. But over the last few years due to some amazing opportunities, saving money and networking I have been able to travel to so many incredible places and want to continue this as much as possible. One of the greatest things I enjoy when travelling is meeting the people that live there and seeing the differences in culture and lifestyle. I always find the best way to really see a place is through the eyes of those that have lived there.

Currently I am on Exchange from England in Missouri, USA and will be going on a month long travel around the states with my friend from home (Holly) and we hope to be able to meet as many different people and see as many places as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got selected in 2016 from My University in Oxford to attend the Cannes Film Festival in France where I got to walk the red carpet and attend the premieres. I also got to meet some incredible filmmakers and actors/actresses whilst there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Being a filmmaker and student of the craft I love sharing stories as well as hearing others. I hope to be able to exchange all sorts of stories and create new ones with those I meet on my travels.

I can also share my skills in photography/film and knowledge of the arts and am always willing to help with any creative endeavours.

I am also a very clean and tidy person so will always tidy up after myself and help out with any chores you may have.
