About Me

I'm very sociable and love to meet new people. Despite coming from the country of Brexit, I'm a very international person and enjoy having thought-provoking discussions, but also just experiencing a different way of life. I'm very active and sporty.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just like everyone else here I love travelling! But more specifically I have a passion for learning languages and immersing myself in new cultures. I am almost fluent in German now, and my challenge this year is learning Russian. Therefore I am interested in travelling to countries in the post-Soviet space & meeting local people and understanding their way of life. I am studying Russian intensively at university so hopefully I can have a decent conversation :)

Otherwise, I am extremely interested in international affairs, so I love to meet people from other countries to hear their perspectives on important issues & learn about their lives and ambitions. Finally, as a history student I am always eager to learn about the rich histories of other countries.

Я хочу учить по-русски. Я люблю встретить лоди, кто говорят по-русски. Спасибо!

Interests

  • rock climbing

Music, Movies, and Books

If I'm honest, I love reading history books, inside and outside of my degree. Hope that doesn't make me sound too boring!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sea cliff climbing in Mallorca was probably my most exhilarating experience so far!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to think that I can offer an interesting discussion, but that's for you to judge!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm more than happy to host & stay with people who want to improve their English. I can also talk a lot about British culture, history & good places to visit.

If you visit me in Oxford I can show you around some of the amazing buildings and tell you about its rich history. With my student card I can bring guests into some of the old colleges for free which is always an amazing experience.
