I’m a sociable, open minded and outgoing girl who loves meeting new people and learning new things. I studied Art History and English Literature and work across many galleries and museums here in Edinburgh. I love exploring culture and being around creative, passionate people. I enjoy going to gigs and discovering lively, quirky or peaceful places. I am also into health and fitness, am vegan and like cooking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I suffer with wanderlust! I want to see and experience as much of the world as possible. I think this is a great way to connect with people all around the world and learn about different cultures, and share what my own amazing city has to offer.
