About Me

After moving around Europe in the last few years I settled down in Edinburgh!
I am mostly driven by curiosity and a deep love for learning! Would love to meet some cool people to hang out and explore Edinburgh & beyond!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS because I'm always excited to meet people from different places around the globe.
I believe that in order to see a travel destination as it truly is, you have to live like a local!
Currently it is hard for me to host because I live in a shared flat.
