About Me

Friendly, easy-going, hoping to meet some new people !

Have been studying Anthropology and Documentary Making at Goldsmiths uni for the last 3 years and working part time in a PRU (a school for excluded young people) in South London. Hoping to pursue a career in something similar but wanting to take some time out first!

Have been lucky enough to have travelled quite a lot growing up with my family and then later on my own or with friends. If I've saved enough money am hoping to spend the majority of next year back in South and Central America with my lovely friend Ellie! Travelling and maybe trying to find some work in or around Brazil, Colombia, Mexico ...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Think it could be a great way to connect with some locals and new people outside of the hostel circles

It would also be nice to meet and support any travellers passing through Chichester (although can't imagine there will be many !)

Would love to get to know any hosts kindly putting us up and try to share or teach anything I can with them! ... English, photography/film or to get involved in any local projects
