My name is Molly, I'm 21 and I'm from London, England. Currently studying International History and Politics at the University of Leeds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered couchsurfing when I was still in school and dreaming about travelling the world. In the summer of 2016 I finally got to know some of the community at a CS meet up in Prague, and then I met up with another lovely group of people in Berlin during the Christopher Street Day Parade. My friend and I then stayed with a guy called Neil in Gijon, Spain later that summer, and in 2017 I stayed with a lovely lady called Hoa in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Although I've only stayed with a few hosts, they were all so kind and welcoming, and really made my time in their countries a million times more special. Now that I have my own place I can't wait to start hosting couchsurfers too!
