CURRENT MISSION

Live, Laugh, Love, Learn

ABOUT ME

I'm 22 years old. I love to travel and explore. There's nothing more exciting than learning something completely new. I love experiencing new cultures and seeing whether the grass is greener on the other side.

I love playing and watching soccer. I live for summer. The beach is a little piece of heaven on earth. There's nothing better than lying down feeling the bliss of summer heat whilst reading a good book.

I study a combined degree in Law and Arts; international relations.

PHILOSOPHY

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love the idea of couchsurfing, sharing your home with a perfect stranger upon the mutual love and interest of travel.

I have heard various stories about couchsurfing, some positive, some negative and have experienced both. I completed exchange in Germany in 2011 and travelled across Europe and some of Africa and enjoyed couchsurfing and meeting awesome couchsurfers across the continent. I found the experience very fun.
