Hi :) I'm Laura and I'm from Edinburgh, Scotland.

I am just about to leave my cosy little house in the middle of this beautiful city to go and explore :)

I'm new to couch surfing but I am certainly not new to the idea of meeting and helping out new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea that through couch surfing we can help each other learn about the similarities and diversities of our cultures. This can only be a positive thing!!!

Interests

I love nature - walking, swimming, dancing...fresh air and sunshine is a good combination to get me smiling! I also enjoy cooking, mostly cause I enjoy food so much!!

• dancing
• walking
• traveling
• music
• surfing
• swimming
• history

Music, Movies, and Books

All music (apart from Gabba...) - classical music will always be a huge part of my life but now I am hoping to learn and play more folk and gypsy.

I love reading a good book, I'm just a bit lazy with it sometimes. I have six books out from the library at the moment but have hardly started one of them! The good intentions are there...

I am open to most genres of film although if I'm too comfortable, I will probably fall asleep.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen so many amazing things and have had some incredible experiences travelling, that's why I am addicted.

A top moment has to be watching the sun rise over the peak of Mount Everest from the top of an icy mountain!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn about how different cultures use music and how they have used music throughout history. It is a dream to try and learn as many indigenous instruments as possible - so far my experience of this has just made locals laugh!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Whatever I have, however little or big it is, I will share!!
