Hi there! I'm a fun, bubbly gal who would love to see the world from your eyes- meet new people- find some quirky places that aren't crazily touristic and generally have a bash! In the past I've done lots of camping and expeditions and my Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, so I love being in the wilderness, but also enjoy visiting towns/cities immersing myself in a new culture. I'm in my final year studying the International Baccalaureate which has been a very intense but rewarding and eye opening diploma programme. I'm taking a gap year from 2018-19 to have some awesome fun travelling before going to study Landscape Architecture at uni. I'm a sporty but academic person who is always down to try something new, so in a way I'm excited for my gap year as it's an opportunity to let my brain relax and explore! I have a niche for water-sports, and ski-sports; with kayaking, sailing, windsurfing and snowboarding being my favourites, but of course I still have lots of standard interests for when the weather isn't particularly freezing or sunny, like basketball and rowing. Please let me know if you are willing to have me for a few days! It would mean sososo much and I would love to meet you🙃

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im on CS to meet likeminded travellers, I believe travelling is not just about the places you see, but the people you meet. I'm an upbeat and chatty person who loves to make connections and even when I'm not travelling, i'm always down to hang out! CS is the perfect platform to truly immerse oneself in a culture and make new friends, so really, it's the perfect travel platform for me🙃.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a total rom-com movie addict- favourite movie is the same as since I was 9- The Proposal- not a fan of horror as I always get wayyyy to creeped out and start thinking that the spooky things happening will happen to me also! I love almost all music, pop, feel good tunes but my favourite artists as a whole are probably Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Sia and Of Monsters and Men, although I'd love to listen to any new music you can recommend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba-dived in the Meso-American Reef to see for myself and take photos of Coral Bleaching, to support an Extended Essay I was writing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I'm learning Spanish- so if your Spanish I could help with your English?! I'm happy to help out in anyway I can- I'm no pro chef but I do enjoy mucking about in the kitchen. I'm a hands on gal who will try anything 🙃
