About Me

Hey guys :)

I come from the UK where I normally work for a circus but I'm taking some time off to chill and relax in Spain for a few months. I'll be traveling around, starting off in Zaragoza then Barcelona and making my way down the coast.

I love coffee in the sunshine, playing chess, cooking food, reading books, swimming in the ocean etc 🌴☺

I'm super chill and friendly. Apologies for the lack of reviews, I haven't done couch surfing for a while! I'm mainly on workaway when I travel :)

Happy to chip in for food! 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CouchSurfing because when I'm travelling I'd much prefer to meet real people and have genuine human interaction. Usually I use workaway and have made a number of beautiful connections through that. I thought I'd give CouchSurfing a shot. I've heard great things

Music, Movies, and Books

Tolkien nerd.

Musically I'm still listening to 90s hip hop. Old habits die hard 🤭

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can I say 2?

I volunteered for a year in Athens, squatting buildings and turning them into refugee shelters during the crisis.

I worked as a head chef in a Tibetan Buddhist monstery in Northern India.
