About Me

I am student, who loves to travel. I have previously backpacked through Central America, learning Spanish along the way and making many friends, I would love to carry on my enjoyment in travelling by both accepting guests to support their travels and stay with hosts, making new friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I study Geography at university and appreciate the scale of the world and would love to experiences as much of it as possible in the time that I have! I want to stay with hosts who can show me local culture or their everyday life, allowing me to develop my understanding of cities and countries across the globe. I myself will in return endeavour to show any guests an authentic experience, showing off British culture as well as everyday activities on an Brit.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have recently discovered a passion for reading, which before I did not have. So I have lots of catching up to do, so any recommendations or insight into classics is fascinating for me. I am currently reading the biography of Elon Musk (An idle of mine), game of thrones book three (A storm of swords) and The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein.
I have always had a passion for music and have been brought up listening for wide varieties of music from ABBA to Lauryn Hill. This wide range has left me with a taste for all music, currently my three favourite artists are: Lauryn Hill (Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is my favourite album), Milky Chance and Jorja Smith,
I have watched movies throughout my life, however recently I have watched less movies, this is my own fault and I should watch more! If any hosts wants to share their movie knowledge and teach me about groundbreaking movies I would be more than happy!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have climbed to the highest point in Central America, Tajamulco 4,202 meters high! Me and two friends climbed to the peak, camped and spent the night looking across the country and waiting for incredible sun rise!
I love to try new things and have a can-do attitude to anything, add want new things to this list!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to play card games and will happily share some of the best games I have learnt on my travels, I would also like to learn new card games!
I learnt conversational Spanish while travelling in Central America, however I have not spoken Spanish in the last year! So I need to try and recall and improve my Spanish skills, anyone that can help me do this would be great!
I would love share my passion for cooking, new and exciting recipies from cuisines across the globe, my speciality is Curry!

Countries I’ve Visited

Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, France, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, Wales
