I work full time in London and spend all my annual leave travelling! I've spent a lot of time in Europe (I love the Balkans) took my first trip to the United States two years ago, and I've just come back from a trip to Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.

I love painting, reading, running, yoga, talking about politics, drinking too much coffee and spend most of my spare time with friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to get a different travel experience than always staying in hostels or hotels, and really connect with people around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie, soul, dancing vibes with a penchant for John Mayer. I read everything and am part of a Book Club. Some of my favourite authors are Haruki Murakami, Jon Ronson, Rebecca Solnit, Neil Gaiman.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kayaked around Copenhagen in December with just a local tour guide who then persuaded me to use their floating sauna and jump into the canals! #freezing

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm trying to teach myself German at the moment, and I know a moderate amount of French, and a much smaller amount of Italian.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm very friendly, but not 'in-your-face'. I can cook very well, I'm a great story teller and a somewhat okay abstract painter. I'd be happy to help clean your home, make you meals, or just provide a new face for an evening!
