ABOUT ME

I'm friendly, creative and enthusiastic, enjoy meeting new people and seeing new places. I can be very spontaneous and love to have adventures, other times I can just be calm, relax and enjoy the company and surroundings.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live sustainably and act with respect and patience for others. I try not to judge people. I believe in generosity and in acts of kindness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I previously lived in pretty much an open flat in Edinburgh with friends and couchsurfers staying with me and my housemates from round the world. I've traveled through Europe for three months and did a bit of couchsurfing along the way, really enhanced my trip and met some great people. Now I'm cycling from the UK to Tokyo on a 9 month trip with my boyfriend!

Interests

I love the outdoors, cycling, hiking, swimming in the sea, music, festivals/ live music and gigs, watching films, enjoy dinner and drinks with friends, socialising, good conversation, reading, traveling, playing piano.
