Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to couchsurfing by a friend when he suggested that we use it in Paris. My cautious side was sceptical of the idea but I enjoyed the experience and I would now like to gain more ''couchsurfing experience'' meeting interesting people from around the world along the way.

Interests

I love sport and have recently forged an interest in language learning. I'm always trying to improve my French and have recently started learning Russian. It's my dream to be a journalist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A friend encouraged me to visit Israel and Palestine with him. I am very grateful as seeing a different life for myself was important. The experience cemented some of my life views and changed others. A recent trip to see friends in Ukraine during the anti-government protests was also an affecting experience.
