I'm new to Couch Surfing!

Hello! My name is Sophie and I've been travelling around the world for the past 10 months. I started volunteering in a tribal village in Kenya for one month, I spent 6 months in South America, and now just finishing 3 months in Asia. Before travelling, I graduated from 4 years at university with a bachelors degree in Marketing - I hope to study my masters in Consumer Pyschology in the future, but exploring the world came on top in my priority list (of course)!

I come from a very unknown place in the south of England - Exeter, Devon - it's a perfect place for me to live because it's in the countryside and close to beautiful beaches, where I can surf and 'starfish' in the sea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love the opportunity to couchsurf because I feel that meeting locals and learning about different cultures is a very important aspect of travelling.

To create lots of memories!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music depends on my mood, but I am mostly a fan of mellow music such as Radiohead, Angus and Julia Stone, Yodalice, Keaton Henson etc. Though, I am finding a new love for Latin American music since being in SA.

My favourite movies are pyschological - the ones that get you thinking afterwards, such as 'A Beautiful Mind'! I also love a good comedy to relax to after a long day.

TV - Mad Men, Orange is the new Black, Girls, Modern Family, Breaking Bad, The Good Wife.
