Hello! I'm Simran and I'm 19 years old. I will be travelling to the UK for a semester abroad for 6 months starting January 2019! Travelling to the UK has been a dream of mine since I was 12 years old, and I'm so excited that it's finally happening! I want travel and explore as much of the UK as I can in these 6 months, while trying not to burn a hole in my pocket (whoops!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for affordable accommodation since I'm hardly going to be in the house! I will be out most of the day travelling and only need a bed to sleep in. I joined couchsurfing on a friend's recommendation, because I would love to live with a local and explore the city as they know best

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I love indie music! I'm especially a fan of Milky Chance and Troye Sivan and The 1975 and many many more
I've always been a big reader, although I've noticed I always tend to gravitate towards Young Adult novels (Rainbow Rowell, David Levithan, Jennifer Niven, Nicola Yoon)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to join my dream college and am now going for a student exchange to a country Ié been obsessed with for seven years!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am leaning Italian and would love to get some hands on training speaking it, because right now I am self taught. I also volunteered at Blind People's Association for a while and have been learning Braille ever since

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I will have an immense amount of gratitude for whoever hosts me, and I would love to share exploring their city with them! It's always refreshing to look at the same thing with a new perspective, and I would love to have the host go on little adventures with me!
