About Me

Have an English heart but spent my formative years abroad, 3 years in Greece, 4 in South Korea and 5 in the United Arab Emirates. Moved back to the UK to finish high school. During university I also did an ERASMUS study year in Finland which was amazing, I met loads of great people and got to see so many interesting places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and almost always find a way to get on with everyone. I find almost every in life interesting and can talk for hours about anything from politics to pets. I hope to travel to places I've never been before and meet new people and once I get a place that's suitable to host then I will most certainly return the favour!

Music, Movies, and Books

Slowly working my way through the modern classics, Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mockingbird are a couple I have read recently. Enjoy a good horror or action film, watched Ex Machina a few days ago and thought it was amazing. As for TV shows, well where can I start, Game of Thrones of course, The Walking Dead, Vikings, the list could go on forever. I like all kinds of music from drum and bass to rock to folk music, have been to a few festivals in the past and would love to go to more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stood in -32 degrees celcius for 3 hours in Lapland waiting for the Northern Lights to appear (it was worth it).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversation and a kind heart, I can always find the good in people and hopefully show the good in myself.
