Overview
About Me
I'm 23, from the UK, an obsessive cheese eater and also a trainee children's social worker. I'm on couch surfing because I love seeing new places and meeting new people, and this seems like a really cool way to do it!
A bit more about me: I have three pet ducks, and I studied history and classics at the University of Edinburgh. One of my biggest life goals is to become fluent in four languages -- at least I've got English down, and my Mandarin isn't too shoddy.
Currently I'm unable to host, but hope to do so soon.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on couchsurfing because I love to travel, and I love meeting new people. Sounds a bit cookie cutter but it's true! I'm new to this website and it sounds like an incredible way to do both.

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm obsessed with fantasy, science fiction and YA novels, and run a book review blog. My all time favourite novels are probably the Little White Horse and the Phantom Tollbooth.
Alongside anything sci-fi or Marvel (Thor Ragnarok was the best movie of 2017 fight me), I absolutely love me some swashbuckling romance in TV and film, like the Musketeers, Poldark, and Da Vinci's Demons. I also go through debilitating cycles of love-hate-obsession with Supernatural. My all time favourite movies include LOTR The Two Towers, Shakespeare in Love, and the 2009 Star Trek reboot.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once saw two wee lion cubs in the wild in Namibia, toddling over the savannah with their mum. So cute!
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm excited to learn more about the world, and what I can give you in return is good conversation. Areas I can share knowledge but am always keen to learn more include history, science and politics.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm friendly and outgoing, and can chat to you for hours about almost anything. I also make a mean batch of chocolate cookies!
