About Me

I have just finished my PhD in Nanomedicine at Swansea university and working out what to do with my life next. Maybe I'll end up settling down into a routine job or I'll sack it off and travel the world living off the kindness of strangers for the rest of my life.

Right now I am enjoying some time off since submitting my thesis by swimming in the sea around Swansea, catching up on everything that i haven't been able to do whilst studying and just generally taking it easy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I originally set up couchsurfing when I travelled the USA back in 2016 but i haven't used it much since, I haven't had the opportunity since I was studying all the time. Now that I am not so busy with studying I would like to get back into travelling and hosting people who want to see the world.

I am now on couchsurfing to stay with people who live in the places that I want to visit and to host people who want to visit where I live. I want to hear others stories of the places and cultures they have experienced and to live like a local when I am not in my home country.
