About Me

Hi! I'm doing a PhD in politics and am currently travelling through Europe doing research.

I'm a friendly, open person and look forward to getting to know you over a strong coffee or a glass of wine :D

I'm independent and adventurous and love meeting new people and having new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard it's the best way to meet new people when travelling! I would love to get a local's perspective in the places I visit.

I'm looking forward to hosting guests once I have my own apartment :) The couchsurfing concept is such an amazing idea and establishes a friendly, international community.

Interests

Travelling, music, books, food, art, dancing, running, making new friends...

I love discussing all sorts of different topics with people, it's so interesting hearing different perspectives on things! Keeping an open mind to new ideas is the best way to grow as a person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Canoeing down the Colorado River in the USA with my family - it was so amazing to feel like the only people in the world.
