About Me

Hi! I'm a Master's student living in Scotland. I haven't been using CS much since the pandemic but now that things are becoming somewhat normal again I'm excited to be back!

I've always been the type of person to learn about culture by immersing myself in it, which is why I often stayed with host families/ couchsurfed while on holiday.

I enjoy travelling but don't enjoy planning so I'm quite a spontaneous traveller and sometimes I spontaneously move countries too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and learning about other people ways of living/ their culture. Also, I believe the best way to learn about a new place is to ask a local!

I enjoy listening to Indie music and reading non-fiction books (mostly about politics, corruption etc). Although, I'm currently reading "Memoirs of a Geisha"

Travelled 3 months solo with almost zero planning, terrifying but I met the most amazing people along the way through couchsurfing and years later, we're still in touch!
