Eat. Sleep. Adventure. Repeat.
ABOUT ME
I grew up in a sleepy little village in the English countryside, but now I have the travel bug and can't wait to fly the nest and explore!
My first stop was the Caribbean, where I taught English and volunteered for an eco-project. Next stop was Taiwan, where I studied Mandarin and volunteered on a sweet-potato farm.
I believe that travelling should be about trying to make the world a better place, so I always try to volunteer or share things with local people along my journey.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
In summer 2018 I was hosted by some awesome people as I cycled from Lille to Amsterdam. My hosts gave me some amazing encouragement, rescued me from a rain storm, fixed my bike, and introduced me to many local beers.
Since then, it has been my pleasure to host two female solo travellers in Beijing. Currently, I do not have my own home so cannot host for the time being, but I would love to again in the future.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first ever couchsurfing experience was unforgettable. I was hosted in Sichuan, China, and my host took me to a panda sanctuary! Definitely 10/10.
Interests
My perfect day would be a long hike in the mountains followed by a cold beer. Most my hobbies involved doing sports (running, cycling, windsurfing) and cooking lots of food.
I also love watching YouTube videos of cute animals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've run 3 mountain marathons! (I'm not crazy I promise)
Teach, Learn, Share
I find language learning fascinating, if you teach me some fun words in your language then I will introduce you to English slang from my hometown!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I once tried to share an English delicacy with my host - Marmite on toast. But they said it was so disgusting that now I avoid bringing any English food.
