About Me

I'm sociable and friendly, but a bit of an introvert at heart.

A London girl born and bred, I've solo travelled and lived abroad as much as I can throughout my 20s. I can settle into new places and make friends easily, but I do value time alone to recharge.

I'm very active and I thrive off moving around. I also love to create, whether through writing, drawing, painting, sewing, baking or whatever random craft I can get my hands on.

I have an open mind and I expect the same from hosts and fellow travellers. In particular, hosts must be LGBTQ+ friendly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a strong believer in community living, sharing what we have with each other. Couchsurfing ties in with those values. Meeting people who could then become friends brings me closer to different cultures and communities around the world.

I'm excited to give back and host other couchsurfers when I'm settled with my own place.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm happiest when I'm up early to move my body and have a day on my feet, on a bike or in the water.

I'm curious with music and I'll love anything that's perfect for my mood right at that moment, so my playlists tend to be eclectic. I've been to a lot of festivals in my time; they're my happy place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Interrailed across a lot of Europe by myself when I was 18. It was my first proper solo trip away from home and it taught me so many lessons about myself, travelling and other communities.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a good card-maker (specialising in punny illustrations), so if you'd like to commission some free cards for friends, I've always got my fine line pens with me.

Always happy to make a good cup of tea!

I have some food intolerances (gluten is the main one) and I'm happy to cook food for my host that we can eat together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A kind and calm presence, tips for travelling, local London recommendations and a willing partner for any whacky activity you might have in mind.
