I'm 19, on a gap year and a very tight budget. I enjoy photography, running and drawing. I am willing to work hard for what I want and to share my experiences with others along the way :)

I was born in Florida, but moved to Cancun, Mexico at 4 yrs old. I grew up there; for 12 years I took part in it's culture, learned Spanish, and made friends who I am still very close to today. I moved to the UK 3 years ago to join family. I recently finished my A Levels in Spanish, Environmental Studies, Art and Graphic Communication. Since I've left school behind I have been working part time at 2 jobs, so about 6 days a week. Half the week I am a manager at a bookshop in Lyme Regis, and I love what I do!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning new things and I want to travel more than anything. My dream is to own a camper van, redo it and travel Europe for free. In the mean time, I still want to travel!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Adam Young. I think there are too many crappy movies to choose a good favorite, although you could say I don't watch the right ones. New Girl is my favorite TV show. "If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things" by Jon McGregor, because what is life if you haven't read this book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Snowdon. It was a school thing and I was all the way at the back of the line because I sprained my shin *?* but I did it!
