Hey there!
I am a student in the UK studying a PhD in Medical Anthropology. Although I am living in the UK now, I lived in Dubai for 18 years!
I have been lucky enough to have had a childhood full of travelling, and it is something that I want to continue doing for the rest of my life!
Couch surfing is one of my favourites experiences and every time I do it I am reminded of how amazing and friendly people can be, it gives me hope for a kinder and more open-world!
I've always felt happiest just talking, playing music with and learning about people, creating and sharing new and genuine memories. What I am trying to say is that I am not couch surfing to find a cheap place to sleep, but genuinely want to meet , share experiences and make friends with my host.

I am currently in Vancouver having just finished taking my 80 year old Grandma on a road trip in the rockies!
Have a GREAT day :) :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

.See the world!
.Challenge my own preconceptions
.Make new friends!
.Remind myself of how kind people are :)
.Hear about and be inspired by people from across the world.
.To eventually be able to give back to the 'sharing economy'!

Interests

.MUSIC (Music, food and travel is what I get up for each morning!)
.Folk tales, music, culture!
. I love anthropology and archaeology for how they show me the beauty in human diversity, for showing me the tales of friendship, hardship, love, unity, all the things about what it means to be human throughout time and space.
