I grew up in the South West of England before studying History & Literature at Edinburgh University from 2013-2017. Whilst in Edinburgh I lived in a 106 person housing cooperative/intentional community, and co-managed a community space/arts charity called 'The Forest'.

I recently moved to Copenhagen to study for a Masters in Migration Studies. I'm currently working on a sustainable mushroom farm, and volunteering between a non-profit radical bookstore and a international cinema.

I'm very cool with sleeping on the floor, or curled up in a corner somewhere - and I really don't expect much luxury.

I've met some wonderful friends through Couchsurfing (and generally having an open door to strangers), and it's always been such a great chance to bump into new people from all over the world.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Whenever I have free space where I'm living it's been a great opportunity to meet new friends, and to share food, music, and stories with people I might otherwise not have met.

Couchsurfing can be a really cool way for people to take part in a new community and to learn more about another culture or group of people. I think it's so important that both hosts and guests recognise that this is not just a "free AirBnB" but an international network of people who are trying to put ideals of openness, mutual support, and unconditional kindness into practice.

Whenever I stay with someone I expect to help out around their house, to cook a meal or two, and to give back for what I have received.

Interessen

Live music, politics, volunteering, journalism, walking up hills, taking pictures of hills, sitting on hills, flying my kite on a hill, having a sandwich on a hill, walking back down the hill, anything with hills I guess.

I play guitar to a fairly good level and enjoy playing with others, there's a couple in my flat so if you'd like to jam you're very welcome.

I studied History and English Literature at the University of Edinburgh from 2013-2017, and I'm currently studying for a Masters in Migration Studies at the University of Copenhagen. If you want to geek out together I love chatting about social and diplomatic history, peacebuilding, migration & refugee issues, poststructuralism, and postcolonial studies.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Teach - local history, homemade pizza, beginners guitar, English

Learn - anything you'd like to teach

Share - if I'm not too busy I can cook for us, you're welcome to hang out with my friends and I'll point you in the direction of anything fun that's going on in town.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I have a background in proofreading and editing and can help you with writing a CV, sorting out any language problems in your schoolwork, or giving feedback on anything that's scribbled in words.

I'm a pretty great cook and I love making big meals, so I'd love to cook something (vegetarian/vegan) for your flat. I think pizza, lasagne, risotto, stews, soups, and vege-fajitas are probably my favourite to cook en-masse.

I like fixing things, and if you have a rusty bike or something else that's falling apart I can take a look at it.

I also love playing music together, so if you've got an extra guitar lying around it'd be cool to jam one night.
