I've left London to go explore the great outdoors! I love to hike, kayak, playing sports, and exploring. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures and people's life experiences, and sharing mine. At university I studied journalism and international relations. I've since worked in politics, started a charity to support refugees, worked on a campaign to tackle health inequalities - and I'm currently writing my first novel. People would describe me as empathetic, funny, and adventurous - hopefully I can bring these qualities to your place and we can share some great memories, skills, and adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to share experiences with locals to learn about different cultures and meet like minded people to travel with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
