About Me

Hi, four years ago I graduated from university and decided to take a few years out travelling as much of the world as possible. I was in Australia for 8 months before moving to China to teach English. Now I'm at university again in Shanghai studying mandarin! I change my mind over my future every week, although recently I feel like a career in diplomacy/international relations would be perfect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I think it will be a great way to meet new people who have a similar outlook on life.

Interests

I'm pretty much curious about everything! I want to learn something new every minute not just every day. I am really passionate about sport, especially football! My favourite team is Liverpool.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
