About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finish medical school

ABOUT ME

bubbly, fun, sporty, adventurous, saved by grace, always looking for fun things to do!

Favourite unexpected moments: roof topping in Jaipur, India; stumbling into a swing dance club at 2am in Slovenia; sitting at the back of an open- truck in Egypt (hitchhiking/joyriding?); jumping off the deck of a junk in Hong Kong; getting inside a warm, cosy cafe after being in -20c snow blizzard in Poland; random night outs with friends in Nottingham; this is quite lame but I got promoted to a suggested user on Instagram (@shot.nottingham) twice and it was insanely exciting and unexpected for me (at that time!).

I am the type of person who would search for off-the-beaten track things to do; I love being in the nature, be it waterfalls, lakes, hills, beaches.

When I meet new people, some would say I am inquisitive (aka nosy); I ask a lot of questions, but that's all because I love people. I love knowing individuals on a more personal level by hearing their stories, their views, as long as you are willing to talk, I am willing to listen; occasionally I might get into one of those controversial discussions... Irarely take things personally and most of the time I am happy to just settle ons 'agree to disagree'.- so fire away! :)

I started playing the guitar recently- self-taught mostly! My first ever song I played was Riptide by Vance Joy, I played it over and over and over again that my housemates all now know the lyrics from back to front!

If after all that ramble you'd still like to meet me, stay with me or host me, then please drop me a message, I would love to get in touch with you and have some fun together in this wild, strange, big world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed with 3 different hosts in 3 different countries in 1 trip! All three trips were unique; as a person who loves to strike up conversations, the topics that we touched upon were vast, ranging from cultural understanding, to our hobbies, to philosophy. I am so inspired by the open-mindedness, generosity and energy that each of my hosts had. The best was to wake up to a nice big bowl of breakfast smoothie prepared by my Slovenian hosts, the fruit tea infused with Croatian pine honey and the midnight gelato tour in Trieste (a bit of a food theme..).
I had such great time with them and can't wait till my next Couchsurfing experience!
I'd love to be able to host in the future!
