Taking a break from my PhD to look after animals in the Netherlands. You can either find me exploring Amsterdam, painting barns in Twente or hiking mountains in the Lakes and Scotland. I'm between Amsterdam and Edinburgh rn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet people and experience a place together from the perspective of it being a home!

Music, Movies, and Books

Massive music fan, love all sorts (it's mad!) listen to a lot of cheesy rap atm but love Red Hot Chili Peppers. Went to a fab techno night at ADE in Amsterdam recently and most recent concert was Arctic Monkeys. Watch a ridiculous number of films and love chatting about it. And I teach literature so that's alright too 😉.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked on my own for 5 days through south Greenland, eating berries, seeing Arctic foxes, Sea Eagles, Peregrine falcons, and listening to the sound of whales rising in the fjord as I sleep.
