About Me

Hey there! I currently work in sustainable transport (promoting cycling, walking and buses and trains!) in Bristol, UK.

Travelling to Madagascar in April! I can speak French to conversational level (although I haven't spoken it in a while and would like to keep it up) and can speak some basic Swahili and Spanish.

I love the outdoors- hiking, cycling, snorkelling and going out with my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore the world ;)

Interests

I love travelling, exploring wild places like national parks and the coast, different cultures, swimming and snorkelling in the sea or lakes, hiking in mountains, cycling and just being outdoors. Love going out and meeting new people. I also love hitch-hiking which I have done with friends ar uni for charity in a challenge called Jailbreak! Check it out: http://studentjailbreak.co.uk/bristol.

Volunteered teaching children in Zambia for 12 weeks in 2013 which was fantastic. It was lovely to be so welcomed by all of the wonderful people in Mututu.

Bungee-jumped off the Victoria Falls bridge!
