About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a country-girl, from the south coast of England-a beautiful coastal village called Studland in lovely Dorset and have just graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a degree in Religious Studies.

Im a person who loves people, culture and all things adventure-y... hence why CS is such a wonderful find... I really love being outside and will never be more happy than when on the beach, in the countryside or even better on the sea...

Really keen for opportunities to learn more about people from around the world, experiencing cultures, ideas and beliefs first hand

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Intend to use cs when globetrotting and when funds allow and until then will continue to dream of far off lands and host others!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thus far have spent a weekend on a couch in Oslo... (more to follow) ... and hosted many people from all around the world in both Edinburgh and Durban
