About Me

🇬🇧 ➡️ 🇺🇲 ➡️ 🇩🇪

Hallo! I've just moved to Düsseldorf from Atlanta. I'm originally from London.

Looking to meet new people and practice my German!

If you can teach me something new - anything! - I want to meet you.

Also looking for friends who'd like to take random weekend train journeys around Europe. 🇪🇺

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed when I was in Russia, and loved it.

When I moved to London after graduating from university, I started hosting fairly regularly. I've hosted about a dozen times now, and I've met some incredible people from all across the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CouchSurfing experience was when I travelled from Yaroslavl' to Moscow with friends for a few days, and we stayed with an awesome couple from CS there.
