About Me

Like almost everyone I love to travel. My favourite thing is just meeting people from around the world and appreciating how diverse our world is. I think there is a lot to be learned from travelling both alone and with friends and I have spent a lot of time doing both. Self reflection is important but I also think nothing substitutes for the feeling of genuine human connection. We live in a beautiful world and I get very passionate about trying to protect it, I'm hoping to use the degree I am taking in chemistry to do something about the threat we have against our planet because losing the connection humans have with nature would be tragic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people from around the world and learning about new cultures.

I had the most amazing couple of days in Istanbul with Engin. We have become friends for life and I can't wait until he comes to England and I can host him.

Interests

I'm very passionate about music, I am in a band and we've written a demo EP. If I'm near music, I'm happy. I play a lot of instruments and just love to jam with people.
