I and my boyfriend Ben live in Leicester. I am training to be a journalist and Ben works in I.T. We love living in such a multicultural city that is vibrant and bursting with energy, having lots of restaurants, events and nightclubs - oh and of course King Richard III!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ben and I are looking to travel across Europe for a holiday but to also keep the cost down. We'd like to meet new people who know the local areas, the nightlife and all the fun activities to do for tourists!
