About Me

I have always wanted to travel, experience new cultures, hear stories, see the world and diversify my own views and experiences! I love to meet new people and appreciate new surroundings.

I've spent the last year backpacking around South America. I also lived in Denmark and Spain and would love to share stories.

I love to learn local dances. I also enjoy cooking different foods, and trying local food. I am also a passionate climate change activist. Therefore, I'd also love to hear about local issues and pick up a few climate change solutions as I travel.

Fun facts about me:
-Ive spent 3 months in an international school for social change.
-Can scuba dive
-Love animals, insects and plants - Id love to tell you some cool facts!
-Love adventures, big and small (for example, sleeping in a cave, and swimming with bio-luminescence at midnight in Denmark!)
-I am an online tutor, and love playing games with children
-Have been a lifeguard for 2 years, and am qualified at first aid.
-Absolutely love to hear stories of different cultures and experiences, and tell some of my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to meet lots of people whilst I travel. I always find myself inspired and invigorated after meeting fellow travellers. I love that we can make friends with people of any age, in any country around the world! And I love to meet local people and share culture, food, and stories!

For a long time, I have been doing Workaways, but couchsurfing is better for being more flexible, and I cant wait to join all the cool Couchsurfing events!

Music, Movies, and Books

Tricky question!

My favourite song is "Always look on the bright side of life" due to the fun memories of singing it with friends.

Movies are Avatar (the blue people, although I also love the cartoon)

I love loads of fantasy and adventure books. But my favourite books are lives throughout political and social situations. I highly recommend "In Order to Live" about a woman's escape from North Korea and "The mountains sing" about living though many tragedies in Vietnam.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went scuba diving in England, and got hugged by a wild seal!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help teach English if you are interested- I've actually been a science, English and maths tutor for some years now.

I absolutely love to cook; meat, vegetarian or vegan!

I would also love to share some British culture and weird university stories!

I would love to learn about local customs, places to visit, food and stories. I would also just love to hear all about your life!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share language, skills, cooking, and passion for climate activism. I also love to ramble about weird animals, insects, biotechnology and microbiology, if you are interested in that kind of thing!

But what i hope to share most is experiences, good times, and memories!
