I grew up in Cairo Egypt until I was 15, then moved back to my Mothers hometown in South Wales, UK. I have been based in the UK since then. I have been fortunate enough to do plenty of traveling across the world in my life, but there is still so much of the world I would love to see! Help me on my quest! I am currently studying my Masters in Sustainable Architecture in mid Wales at the Centre of Alternative Technology, and loving every minute of it. I care about the environment a great deal, which has lead me to become a vegan. I also am a massive foodie and love to cook, and like most millennials I also enjoy a good double espresso from time to time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first Solo trip exploring a city. I thought it would be a great way to see a new city with a Locals perspective. I like many other people love travelling and exploring different places, spaces and food. I have heard many great things about Couchsurfing and I have been keen to try it for a number of years now.
