I'm half English, half Swedish born and raised in London. I study Economics but currently on a summer internship taking me to LA very soon to work on the launch of a new denim brand (ever heard of Frame Denim?).

I love travelling - took a year out last year and spent time in New York, Paris, Istanbul and best of all Malawi and Zambia where I worked on a safari camp for two months and backpacked solo I'm always looking for an excuse to travel hence why I jumped on this LA job, next year I'm studying abroad in Melbourne and plan to hit up South East Asia when I finish.

I love food; think its the best way to experience a new country so looking forward to exploring the LA scene, I hear sushi is pretty big there. Other than that - music, art, film, photography, sport are all interests of mine. Hoping to meet some LA natives and get to know it. I'm easy-going, I get along with most people and happy to follow someone who knows LA!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've never hosted or stayed with a host yet but hoping for that to change soon!

Couch surfing just seems like a great way of getting to know a city from less a of tourist's perspective with someone who really knows it.

Interests

Into most art and design stuff; a bit of fashion too hence my job.
I often check out the Tate Modern in London.
I play some Piano - mainly French Classical (and speak some french too).
Played a fair amount of sport in the past: Football, Hockey, Tennis, Kickboxing, Squash, cycling. Now I'm more into running when I have time.
