About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To keep learning

I'm a Londoner, working at a backpack startup in London while I figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have only had the pleasure of surfing couches and occasionally meeting people for a coffee. Up till now couchsurfing has been one of the best things I have ever done. I was worried that the idea of couchsurfing would be better than the reality before I tried it but I have met and stayed with the nicest, most interesting, kind and welcoming people and made a load of new friends, all thanks to this website.

At the moment I'm travelling in Australia and New Zealand for a couple of months and I'd love to get off the backpacker trail and meet and share stories with the people that live here.
