About Me

Currently managing a backpackers hostel in Edinburgh, Scotland! I've been living in the UK for nearly 5 years now working and traveling as often as possible! I love connecting with people from all around the world and am so grateful my work lets me do that everyday.

When I'm not working I love to go to gigs, spending time outside, going to yoga, going for drinks with friends, you name it! I have a busy and active lifestyle- there's never a dull moment in my life :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Whilst travelling I'm really hoping to meet and connect with many wonderful people in many different ways. Couchsurfing is such a great way to make meaningful international connections and I always think living like a local is the best way to experience a place!
