My name is Lynsey and I'm 24 years old. I would say I'm quite a laid back person who enjoys an adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I'm traveling I want to experience the real culture of each place. I'm really interested in discovering more than the usual backpacker attractions, and I think local knowledge is key to these experiences.

Interests

I love music. Mostly singing and playing guitar, but i will give any instrument a try. I played in three different bands before coming traveling. I enjoy going to music festivals and have performed at a smaller festival in Scotland called Eden Festival. I enjoy drinking and partying with people. Meeting people and sharing experiences is a favourite of mine, and of course traveling. Luckily these go hand in hand. As mentioned before I love experiencing new culture's, which is another one of the reasons I'm traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I appreciate so many different genres of music, so its always hard for me to narrow it down. I will listen to anything from heavy metal to electronic to jazz & blues, however, I do prefer rock and indie. One of my favourite films and books is Pride and Predujice. I also love Step Brothers, Anchor Man, and Shawshank Redemption. I loved reading Angels and Demons, all the Harry Potter books and various crime books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I completed a four week course called way through the wilderness in Scotland. The course worked on team building, outdoor survival skills, many outdoor activities such as rock climbing, kayaking and hill walking. At the end of the course we worked in our team to create a presentation of our experiences during the course.
