About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn as many languages as possible!!!

ABOUT ME

I'm an outgoing, smiley person who is currently taking a gap year / break from routine and education!! I want a proper adventure this year, meeting as many people from as many different walks of life as possible in the hope of enriching my life and personality at the same time. I want to party, socialise, exchange ideas and drink lots of coffee. I'm really into languages and have just completed my first year of study at the University of Cambridge.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is not yet entirely moulded, I suppose I could say that I'm taking a gap year in order to fully form my "personal philosophy", however I do believe that diversity is a beautiful thing and for this reason I want to be a part of the couchsurfing community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm happy to meet people for coffee in my hometown / near to my hometown in England. There is also a possibility of me hosting, so do feel free to contact me and I'll try and arrange something. If I am unable to host, I would be happy to help you find alternative accomodation.
