Hi all, I am 20 years old and I live in Reading, England. I study philosophy at the University of Glasgow in Scotland (I am currently doing a year abroad in Auckland, New Zealand), so I am not shy of a good thought-provoking discussion. I enjoy sports and outdoor activities including football, mountain climbing, cycling and going running. I also listen to a lot of music and love film, especially art-house films. If you have any new music to recommend, I love discovering new artists across genres. Besides this, I also enjoy reading and cooking, so can guarantee a good flat-meal.

Current travel plan:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Visit new places:

Teach, Learn, Share

I dont have any special talent to teach unfortunately, unless you want to know how to juggle.

I like to think I'm good at cooking so could teach some recipes. I love learning new recipes too.

Would love to learn new languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Competent cook. Good company.

What more could you want than food and friends.😊
