About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit every country on the planet.
ABOUT ME

At the moment I am living in Östersund in the beautiful region of Jämtland, northern Sweden as a Moose Whisperer and PHD student in tourism. I have studied a Masters here too and before was a French and History student in London and Paris. Here, I'm loving working with the king of the forest, the moose, as well as all the outdoor activities one can get up to in this part of Sweden: hiking, biking, skiing, skating etc bikes. It's been really awesome having the opporutnity to live in both London and Paris and now here in the far north, after growing up on the British seaside in Eastbourne.

I'm a massive travel addict, having travelled to over 75 countries now. My main passions are travel, beer, food, skiing and conversation about events, life etc with people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To give people somewhere to stay and hopefully meet some cool people along the way. My couchsurfing experiences have been really positive so I hope to give back to a community.
