I grew up in London and Bournemouth and graduated at art school. I have recently graduated as a chartered marketeer and have moved up north to Sheffield to start again.
I'm 28, from England, I have a dog called Logan, and I have just finished 5 months in South East Asia. I hope to fly back out one day soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have just finished 3 months in China and couchsurfed the whole way. I have met some incredible people that I hope to know forever.
I would like to use couch surfing to make new friends in Sheffield as I don't know anyone.

Interests

I love food, so far Mongolian has been my favourite. I love history, museums, books but I also love to go shopping and dancing.
I want to learn languages whilst I am out in Asia, and plan to live in China to learn mandarin.
I am generally a curious person and interested in anything different.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a very mixed taste in music. I like everything from classical to pop. The cheesy music in China is fun and the Mongolian throat singing was amazing to watch. I struggle to watch movies sometimes but I love watching trash when I watch TV.
My book taste is quite high brow. I like factual books and the classics.
