About Me

Graduated from International Development and I am now trying to find the balance between work, time, and money to be able to travel. Random ticket searches for an impromptu trip is my everyday thrill. I am pescatarian (a type of vegetarian) but chill, I am happy with people eating whatever makes them happy! I like watching documentaries, non-fiction books, having a good conversation instead of small talk, and food (especially sweet stuff)!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have only couch surfed once in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was amazing, I couldn't believe how welcome I felt, it was great sharing experiences, and genuinely being immersed in the culture. Win-win situation really. I've hosted friends from uni quite a few times and loved it, so I imagine it would be even better to meet new people while hosting.

Interests

I love hearing about others' experiences and telling my own, discussing controversial topics and being able to agree to disagree. Talking about current affairs, getting passionate about it while still being able to have a laugh. I like the outdoors and learning about new cultures, I love cultural differences. I like sports, but struggle to get myself off bed for it. I like cooking, but with no recipe, improvising is always the best option.
