About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am now

ABOUT ME

I'm currently studying Engineering Science at university but don't worry! I think I'm kind of fun too! I'm 21 and I really enjoy meeting new people. Me and my friends who live with me love to host couchsurfers and show them how we live at university. I have been travelling to South America a year ago and I can't wait to go away again, hopefully Couch Surfing when I have some references, so come and visit and help me get more! Even if you only want to have a drink sometime :)

PHILOSOPHY

Its a cliche for a reason; I believe in what comes around goes around. When Ive been in awkward situations there have always been kind people to help me out. I think of that when I find a person in a jam.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every single couchsurfing experience I have had, I've loved. I have hosted travellers whilst I was at university - we had great times going out, chilling, I really enjoyed showing people my city. I have surfed in Spain, Morocco and Mexico and in each place had such valuable experiences. A highlight was partying on independence day in Veracruz (Mexico) with my wonderful host Jorge!

Interests

I play tenor saxophone. I love to listen to music as well as talk about it. I also really enjoy meeting people from all over the world and remembering that life is more than just where I live!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting Iguazu Falls in Argentina was the most powerful natural sight I've ever seen. To realise that water had been pounding with that same force long before anyone was around to see it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very keen to learn Spanish. I have been learning and unlearning for years now, but hopefully I have retained something!
