I am a happy and carefree person who likes making the most out life. I can't sit still for long without getting bored, so I love exploring; stumbling across new and interesting places. Experiencing different cultures interests me immensely, there are so many out there, why stick to just one?? I enjoy listening to music of all kinds and one of my favourite things to do is go raving long into the night, if you're willing to join me then we will most likely get on well! Riding my bicycle far too fast around Leipzig is also a real passion of mine. I am very easy to get on with and will chat about anything, and hopefully make you laugh! I can cook you a mean stir fry, just provide me with a wok! I also play the ukulele, badly.

Interests

It is my love of learning languages is that I that lead to my thirst for travel, as I had to spend a year in Europe as part of my bachelors degree, and have since been lucky enough to travel 5 different continents. Having used Berlin as my base to have fun and explore for a few years, I have now settled down a little, and am enjoying life as a student again in the lovely city of Leipzig. I look forward to giving you a bike tour!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked from Sheffield all the way to Sofia in Bulgaria to raise money for charity. 2,500 km in just one week, and with no money for transport!

Spent 10 days in silence as part of a Buddhist meditation retreat in Sri Lanka.

Took a cargo boat down the Amazon river for 5 days crossing the border from Ecuador to Peru. Sleeping in hammocks and sharing the deck with cows, pigs and chickens made it an unforgetable jungle journey.
