Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To host cool people
NOTE: I am relatively un-organised and travel a fair bit, therefore if you want me to host you it is better if you ask a week before arriving rather than a month. Also if you send me a 'copy+paste' request I'm unlikely to say yes, sorry!
ABOUT ME
Having had some cool couchsurfing experiences, I am now updating my profile to allow some nice kind people to stay with me in London.
I am doing a Masters degree (politics) in London after having grown up in Melbourne, Australia. I went on a 12 month backpacking trip in 2012 across Europe, North and Central America which was incredible and love to have travellers around to swap stories.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Meet nice people to have beers with
Interests
Going to markets, skiing, anything Liverpool FC related. Seeing live music and DJs and finding cool new bars and restaurants. Writing about and reading current affairs (politics nerd). Beer - both crappy Red Stripes and nice craft brews. Travelling! I really like wine and cheese.
