I've been excited about travelling and seeing more of the world for as long as I can remember! I'm constantly working towards visiting as many countries that I can and I really enjoy meeting people, making friends and exchanging experiences and cultures along the way. I'm easy to please and try to make the most out of any place I visit, whether it's viewing architecture, meeting up with locals or just going for a run to see more of where I'm staying.

Back home I work as an accountant… boring I know, but I need to pay for my travels some way ;-) I play hockey, squash and enjoy running (when my knee lets me!). Each year I try to escape the UK to somewhere that actually has some mountains that I can ski/snowboard on!

My two ultimate travel goals are to visit St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow and see the Moai statues on Easter Island. I managed to complete the first one last year and was really excited to finally stand in front of the cathedral. I can't wait to travel to Chile for the second!

The best way to get over the post-holiday blues is to start booking the next one :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friends have told me that it's a great way to meet local people who will be able to give information about where I'm staying to help make the most out of my time there. It is nice to turn up somewhere and already have someone to chat to about where I'm staying, give me top tips as a local and talk about the experiences they have had of travelling and hosting :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the things I've most enjoyed is completing the UK three peaks challenge. It involves hiking up and travelling between the highest mountains in Scotland (Ben Nevis), Wales (Snowdon) and England (Scafell Pike) in 24 hours - along with a group of friends we managed to do it (just!), and would love to go again soon to try and beat my time!
