Overview
About Me
Just moved back to my beloved North London after 6 years of working in Scotland - happy to show you around, might be able to host.
Back from traveling through South America and already planning the next trip.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have been hosting and couchsurfing for many years and met some of the nicest people this way, some of them I still call my best friends.
I've reactivated my account to meet people on my trip around South America - Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.

Music, Movies, and Books
Just finished reading "The Sheltering Sky" by Paul Bowles and "The Fishermen" by Chigozie Obioma.
Currently reading Sally Rooney's second novel which makes me want to visit Ireland badly.
Favourite book from last year was "Germinal" by Zola, can't believe it took me so long to finally read it!
Lately I've been listening loads to Abra, VanJess, Tirzah...
Before going on this trip I rewatched almost all David O. Russell's films. I like "Coffee and Cigarettes", "Birdman" (and pretty much all of Iñarritu), David Lynch.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Last year I climbed the tallest peak in Poland and Slovakia without support and it was the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever done. I can also make pretty amazing enchiladas.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am always up for a language exchange and I like to cook for others.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am good at teaching hula hoop tricks?
