Hello!! I'm kumari :)

I've just graduated uni, having done a BSc in chemistry and maths from Leeds university (UK).

I have always had a huge passion for traveling, and so I've absolutely jumped at the chance to go again after finishing my studies. I've been solo backpacking for 4 months, and have now joined up with my uni friend, Joe (picture in profile!), to travel round Japan and the states together.

I've never done couch surfing before, but I've been recommended it by lots of people I've met whilst travelling and would really like to meet some lovely people and learn more about where they live.

Any questions, let me know! Very happy to have a chat or call on WhatsApp :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been recommended trying couch surfing by people who have said it was one of the best things they did in the states!

Interests

Very interested in working in sustainability, having studied science at university. Big fan of nature and so love going for a hike in the mountains or a swim or surf in the sea! I'm a huge foodie, and absolutely love to try local dishes everywhere I go, and not too bad in the kitchen myself :) I've been playing piano since I was 7 and really enjoying going to places like jazz bars.
