About Me

Hey I'm a photography student normally based in Bristol, UK but currently travelling in New Zealand doing my final year project. Hoping to meet local people as well as other travellers and explore this beautiful country as much as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and meeting locals, and couchsurfing seems like a great way to do it! I haven't done it before, heard lots of good things from mates who had so thought I'd give it a go. Would be keen to pay it forward too and offer a place to stay once I'm back in the UK.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It might not sound that amazing but moving to London when I was 19 years old felt pretty exciting, definitely one of the best decisions I ever made.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A pretty chilled out person and easy to get along with, I love getting to know new people and sharing stories. Love cooking and hanging out with music, having a glass of wine or a few beers.
