Overview
About Me
Hi! I have just graduated from my Scottish university and made a move to Sweden to study for a masters.
I love hanging out with people I live with, cook and eat most meals together. I am very social and outgoing, I am trying to learn Swedish too. I love taking care of my houseplants and am rather outdoorsy - love hiking and open/cold water swimming. As for my hobbies and pastimes, I play ice hockey, surf, skate and am generally rather physically active - will be looking to get back into climbing when I settle in Goteborg. I play alto sax and bass guitar - would love to get back into playing in a band!
I’m very curious of the world and it’s people and would love to experience cultures different to mine :) a big dream of mine is to eventually learn Spanish and travel through South America.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Just moved to Gothenburg and I know virtually nobody in here so I would love to make me some local friends to show me the ways :)

Music, Movies, and Books
I have recently seen this wonderful movie about Noam Chomsky - Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy?, really recommend it! If you are into skate videos, I love everything from the Worble collective.
There is this one book I am reading now I can recommend - "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
...and I could talk forever about music so don't even get me started.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have hitchhiked across northern Norway, Finland and Sweden last year, met so many amazing people and now, partially because of that experience, I have moved to Sweden!
