- I’m in the process of moving to Edinburgh for university so can’t host in London until late December -

I’m 19 and from England. I’ve just travelled around the Americas for 6 months. I stayed with families in Nicaragua and Costa Rica and their generosity, acceptance and openness has inspired me to open my doors to fellow travellers back in London. I want to stay with hosts because I want to see your cities through your eyes and spent a bit of time slightly detached from the main tourist trail.
I’m a food obsessive and after 2 months of living off refried beans and crackers I want to try as many interesting dishes as possible plus cook my favourites! I’m a big sports fan, especially rugby and football. I love going to see live events of all types. I’m also trying to learn as much Spanish, French and German as possible and for that the more conversations (and debates!) I can have the better!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people, see cities from a local perspective and give back to fellow travellers.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to an eclectic range of music, from jazz to Bob Dylan to modern British indie. I enjoy comedies, dramas and art house films as well as having a soft spot for rom cons. I read a lot of novels both classic and modern from all around the world. I find history and politics fascinating. I read widely and want to learn more about both. I appreciate art, especially the modernist period and also love a good Netflix series that really hooks you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked 300km in 3 weeks across Costa Rica.
I trekked for a week through the Amazon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak English fluently and some French, German and Spanish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good, interesting, passionate conversation, language practise and help cooking.
