About Me

I'm eighteen and want to get away from England for a year, so I can relax and get rid of all thoughts of A levels before I go to uni.
I'm quite chill and am a bit of an adrenaline junkie, whether at a concert or on a roller coaster. But also like to have long chats in the evening and think it's really important to be respectful when you're living in culture other than your own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to relax and experience new things before uni. I'm planning to start off and spend a few months in Germany, so I can finally properly experience the culture that I've learnt about for so long. I may stay in Germany for most of the year, but I'm not entirely sure
Most importantly I want to meet new people to share my experiences, so that we can learn something from each other. I want to live a life thats much more free and rich

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the Stone Roses' last gig in England before they split up. If you're not from England this might not sound that impressive...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer music if you want to listen. If not I love having conversations with people long into the night. I would love to listen to other people's stories.
I also like to cook.
