ABOUT ME

***2016 update: I'm now a grown up working in finance in London. I'm heading to Mumbai in July for a friend's wedding and want to make the most of my time in the city.

Here are some things that I like: playing bass, playing guitar, going to gigs, going to museums, going travelling, world politics, philosophy, reading, salsa. I'm trying to learn French at the moment too! I graduated from university last July and have been doing bits and bobs since then. I want to do some travelling before I start working full time in September.

I'm a very friendly easygoing person who likes going out as well as having a nice cup of tea and a chat. I can be shy sometimes too but I'm trying to work on that :).

PHILOSOPHY

It's better to burn out than to fade away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Myself and my housemates hosted lots of people while we were living in York last year - now I want to do some surfing around Scandinavia!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a few great experiences whilst hosting people. It's amazing how quickly a connection can be made with people from all over the world.

I've only hosted so far, and want to have a go at surfing at some point.
