About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The greatest thing about travelling/couchsurfing: you get the chance to meet and bond with people you otherwise never would have met/given the time of day!

ABOUT ME

At the time of writing I'm a 22 year old student in my final year of uni studying Spanish & Communication Studies.

I am a travelling fanatic and have some of the most unbelievable stories to share! I love meeting people from all backgrounds and finding out about the things that make them, well, them!

My friends have described me as a free spirit and I usually come out with some very random statements! I am a creative person with a vivid imagination and enjoy the company of people who will come on my adventures whether it be a long romantic walk to the fridge or jumping on the next available bus to an unknown destination.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like the wake, so give yourself away like the sea
