I'm a relaxed Brit who loves to travel and meet new people. My favourite thing to do when seeing a new place is to make connections with real local people and learn about the culture from them.

At the moment I'm spending a lot of time on my laptop trying to work out what I want to do for a career (I finished my degree last year) and applying for jobs online. Which is to say I'm quite a low maintenance guest as I can keep myself entertained with digital work if you're busy :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a new surfer! I've spent a lot of the last year doing volunteering around the world through workaway whilst looking for a place to settle for a few years. I only recently found out about couchsurfing through other volunteers I've met along the way but I'm very excited to begin surfing and hosting once I have my own place.
