About Me

A couple of years ago I decided to leave my 'normal life' I had behind and see what else was out there. Since then I've cycled across Europe, done two ski seasons in the Alps and been scuba diving in Thailand.... Safe to say, I think I made the right decision.

Not really one for talking too much about myself, but I will say that the experiences I've had through CS have been absolutely incredible. The generosity of people who start off as strangers is unbelievable and it was one of the biggest (if not the biggest) highlights of my travels last year, I still keep in contact with a fair few of the people who have hosted me. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories of what they’ve done and plan to do in the future. Hopefully I've gathered enough experiences to put together a half interesting story myself now.

I must also mention that I am vegan, although I don’t want people thinking I’m one of those that have to bring it up all the time. I say this because I’ve been hosted by a lot of people who will cook dinner for me (although I absolutely do not expect this at all!) I have worked in a kitchen as a ‘chef’ for a couple of years and really enjoy to cook, so would be more than happy to whip something up for you if you’d like.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m one of those awkward people who say ‘I like anything’, but it’s mostly true. Growing up my Dad listened to house and trance whereas my Mum listened to pop music, and most of my friends are into hip hop…if you look through my playlists you’ll find anything from old school rock, hip hop, DnB, cheesy pop and much much more

I love to read crime, historical dramas, fantasy books; would love some recommendations!

I watch a lot of tv series: Vikings; South Park; GoT; Rick and Morty; Breaking Bad
