About Me

I grew up and studied in London. I got the travel bug and have been using every opportunity to explore the world, and find adventures, meeting new people sharing stories.

Currently I have taken a year out to explore the other side of the world and have come to Australia and East Asia to soak in the local life.

Im pretty social and easy going, like to try new experiences, like to cook simple good food, like to have a drink, enjoy staying in as much as as going out. Im also quite active so love venturing out and taking part in activities. Especially like keeping it weird.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new like minded people and share experiences, get to know people in the local area and make new friends.
