Overview
About Me
I currently live, study, and work in a wee café in Glasgow. In the last 5 years I've lived in Valencia and Prague as well as spending eight months travelling and volunteering my way through South America and feel incredibly lucky to have done so.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I enjoy meeting and sharing experiences with kindred spirits.
Would also appreciate any opportunity to improve my Spanish.
Interests
I’m passionate about the environment and how collectively we can reduce the impact we’re having. I’m going back to university in September to do a master’s in Global Sustainable Cities to learn more about it.
Experiencing new cultures and learning as much as possible (clichéd, I know)... I’ve learned so much about how to live a fuller life with less during my time away.
Also a keen photographer, which is how I express my creative side, so if anyone’s handy with a camera then let me know.
Music, Movies, and Books
I'm open to any kind of music, it depends on my surroundings and mood. I like getting to know people through listening to music with them.
Currently reading: Aldous Huxley - Doors of Perception
A24 movies. Star Wars on a rainy day.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Flew to Argentina by myself with no Spanish and came back eight months later speaking a bit of the language and a much richer person because of the people that I met and the experiences that I had.
Teach, Learn, Share
I’ll teach you how to understand Scottish people, and our slang. I’ve only recently mastered how to communicate with the rest of the world.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Tales of my misfortunes (involves a didgeridoo in Peru). Also a good sous chef.
