I work for an environmental law charity in London. I grew up in Northampton, studied in Sheffield and lived and worked in Hull and Wigan before moving south for my current job, which I love. I'm living in a flat with a big comfy sofa in Hackney, East London. We're near London Fields park, lots of food markets and a beautiful outdoor lido.

I've travelled a fair bit during breaks from uni and work, and have built a touring bike which I plan to travel on as much as possible in future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn more about my city by showing visitors around it, and to feel like a local when I'm away on a break! I'm lucky enough to travel for work sometimes, and I'd like to meet / stay with people in the countries I'm visiting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music and almost always have some playing, but I've never been able to answer the question 'what music to you like?'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiked from Sheffield, England to Sofia, Bulgaria this Easter, realising how far you can get thanks to people's kindness!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to pick up bits of language from places I visit - staying with a local seems a great way to do this! And sharing book / film / music recommendations is a great learning process!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll cook for you!
