About Me

I created this profile originally for myself and two of my best friends when we hosted people in our flat in East London and then went backpacking and couchsurfing across South America (to explain 'the Latvian girls' in some of my references).

After many backpacking journeys I'm back in London, now living in a flat near Shoreditch with my amazing flatmate Alex. I freelance in PR and communications and do photography in between and dream of a day when I will be able to survive just by photographing sloths..

I've had some great experiences through couchsurfing and met some amazing, crazy and wonderful people. Whatever you are up for sharing, whether that's stories over beer or cooking dinner together, I'm in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly for hosting these days, but, hey, I might get back on the road some time. My flatmate and I both work (sometimes) and live busy London lives, so can't host people very often but would like to welcome nice people who are travelling whenever we can!

Interests

Spending ridiculous amounts of time looking at over dramatic cats on Bored Panda.
