About Me

I'm an International Events Management graduate from the wonderful University of Brighton, I'm utterly obsessed with music and general creatives; I've been lucky enough to work all over the world since I graduated and the party is all really just getting started. I'm always up for adventure and generally making the most of a situation, I like being around good conversations, great people, coffee, tea, and all of the food. I do also love to cook and talk about food/the world/music, so if you are into food then we will be a wonderful pairing! I travel and work abroad a lot so am wholeheartedly into the idea of sharing the time otherwise spent alone with the company of a true local!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Despite having a shaky introduction to the world of Couchsurfing in New York a few years ago, I still do believe that it is one of the better ways to travel. The kindness of strangers does very often blow me away, and I like to think that this is a good way for the cycle to continue, for me as a guest as well as for others as hosts. Be kind and experience culture from a different perspective as often as possible.

Interests

Music takes the top seed in this one; I play guitar, sing, and I'm currently learning piano.
I've been working all over the world and living out of a backpack almost non-stop since February 2015, so I spend a fair amount of time learning about the cultures I find myself in as well.
I love all sports and anything outdoors/ active, but I'm always open to a night in relaxing with the right people!

Music, Movies, and Books

The music list will be far too hefty to list here, as will movies and books. I often opt for non-fiction and anthropology, though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have quite a growing list from the last few years but a notable recent addition was witnessing the incredible bioluminescent sand on the beaches of Colombia on the Caribbean coast, paired with a few days exploring the jungles and its animals, particularly with my newest amigos, the giant blue land crabs! (please google them)
