Hi there!

I have really enjoyed my time on couchsurfing as a guest and as a host, what a great way to meet open and generous people!

A little about me: I am from the UK, love to travel, play music, socialise, cook and watch films. I'm English so of course I love tea in all it's forms! I have previously worked as a care worker in the UK and looking after children with special needs. During my time in Australia I have been working as an Au Pair.

I love nature and studied Marine Biology/Environmental Science at university. I always try to walk everywhere I can, you never know what you might find when exploring! I absolutely love the water and really enjoy freediving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience places I visit in a completely different way and meet people along the way. I love the generosity of the people of couchsurfing and want to be a part of it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Have a soft spot for the Studio Ghibli films

I enjoy a variety of music, especially jazz and well any music you can dance too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Live in Mozambique for a few months while researching the links between human behaviour and malaria!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a passion of cooking and enjoy sharing this with others. I always take every opportunity to learn more about food from other cultures and apply it in the kitchen at home.

Discussions on my work in science (if this doesn't bore you)
Friendship and good company I hope!
