I finished school and studied at university in the UK, did a cycletrip across South America, have lived and travelled in many many places. Travel has been my greatest teacher - it's a fantastic way to broaden your horizon by challenging yourself physically and mentally, working different jobs, and meeting different people with various stories and opinions - Couchsurfing is a fantastic facilitator for that :)
Have been "settled" in the UK since the pandemic, teaching at a secondary school.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been travelling since I was 16 and have found couchsurfing to be a great way to meet locals/new people, and learn about the place I'm staying in and another person's worldview.

This is is platform to meet like minded people, not a dating app, so please don't message with the wrong intentions!
