I study Biomedical Science at University with plans to become a microbiologist and did an ERASMUS year abroad in Switzerland last year. I love being busy, and do lots of outdoor and team sports, volunteering (with St John's Ambulance, tutoring biology, running a science club for primary school kids, helping with a disabled swimming club), and play the guitar and piano.

I love travelling and learning different languages and customs. I've couchsurfed before in Germany, Slovenia and once in France as part of a group of friends (before I had an account) and loved it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm interested in hearing different people's experiences and views on the world, and believe you learn a lot more about a place through meeting people who live there than just staying in a hotel :)

Interests

Outdoor sports: swimming, kayaking, scuba diving, sailing, windsurfing
Indoor stuff: water polo, canoe polo, underwater rugby
Other: languages, board games (especially Settlers of Catan), card games, guitar, piano

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have scuba dived through a sunken plane, been skydiving, hiked across a glacier, kayaked over a waterfall, ridden a camel, been camping with only a hammock, hitchhiked from Amsterdam to Lake Constance and sailed in the Tall Ships Race.
