About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Explore the world for 365 days with Will, my partner in crime (and travel).
ABOUT ME
I'm a transatlantic mutt - half american and half english and my accent is just as muddled. My childhood was in the U.S and my 'adulthood' has so far been in the U.K, along with an eight month stint in Brazil. And perhaps that is part of why I'm such a travel enthusiast. I love visiting museums, going to the theatre, and exploring new cities.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I was active on Couchsurfing about 10 years ago and had some fantastic experiences, from showing couchsurfers around Manchester (where I was a student) to couchsurfing in Lisbon and Barcelona with amazing hosts.
Ten years on my partner Will and I have quit our jobs in London to travel the world for a year. We so excited to meet people and get to know places through locals' eyes. Couchsurfing is the perfect way to do this!
