About Me

I’m 27, bilingual, what seems like an eternal student (had a gap in the middle). I have now been living in Ireland the last year, but have spent my life traveling back and forth between Germany and England. I always want to travel more and absolutely love the more local side of discovering new places. So thought I should give couchsurfing a go.

I know some of you might be wary because it's a new profile. But we all have to start somewhere. I also know it would be better if my account were verified, but I just can't afford that atm :( I would be very happy to facetime before meeting you so you can see I'm not some catfish :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There are two main reasons I’ve turned to couch surfing:
- I need to find a way to travel as cost efficiently as possible.
- I love the local side of discovering new places so believe this would actually me a much more fun and interesting way to go traveling!

Interests

If you know of a bouldering hall in your city or you fancy coming swimming or going hiking, I'm game!
Also if you can think of anything quirky or new to try out and want someone to do it with, I believe try and tick as many things as possible off the list!

  • nightlife
  • bouldering
  • hiking
  • swimming
  • sightseeing
  • beaches
  • food
  • watching movies
  • reading books
  • going out

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite book (so far): One Day
Favourite movie: So my judgement is clouded because I just watched Endgame and that's all my mind is on atm.
Favourite music: no particular genre. If I hear something, and I like it, it goes into my monthly spotify playlist. but there's a random mix sometimes, depending on the month. Can range from Sigur ros, to Xavier Naidoo, Coheed and Cambria or Damien Rice etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friend and I did “Jailbreak” in the second year of my undergrad.
We raised money for charity and had 36 hours to get as far away from our university as possible without spending a penny. Our university (royal Holloway university of London) was west of London - we got to Berlin :D

2nd amazing thing: I went skydiving in South Africa.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you have any interest in speaking german or English.
I always love trying different things and love to chat! I’m a great listener (and a very good talker too haha 😅)
I also enjoy jogging (if it’s not raining^^) and can walk for hours so would could offer my services as a jogging buddy :)
If you have any pets you’ll also see me practice my skills as a pet whisperer 😍
