Hi! First name Beth, middle name Tiger. I'm 21 years old and currently living in Santa Cruz as part of my year abroad in the USA. I'm from Brighton, England. I'm super easy-going, always down to try new things and I'm a huge fan of film, art and photography.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always keen to meet new people and believe the only way to truly explore a city is to stay with a local! I'm a student so I'm keen to keep things on a budget but love having people to stay with me and can't wait to return the favour!

Interests

I'm currently studying film theory, so I'm an avid reader and writer. I'm getting back in touch with myself and my hobbies on this year abroad, currently really into film photography and playing the piano! I hope to live in Paris for a year when I've graduated so I'm always down to practice my French!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to anything and everything, but currently flit between a lot of indie rock and indie soul. Big fan of artists like The Growlers and Unkown Mortal Orchestra but I've also been really getting into old skool hip hop like Del the Funky Homosapien and Tribe of Mischief! I'm an avid reader, recently just finished The Picture of Dorian Grey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've moved twice in the last 2 years, once to Brighton and another time to Santa Cruz. It's been fun, but moving and travelling have definitely expanded my world view and introduced me to such lovely people. I can't wait to see where I end up next!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm quite the learner myself, to be honest! But I'm always keen to share stories and meet people with similar interests. I'm teaching myself how to use film cameras, and to play the piano by ear. I'm a pretty good cook and love to cook and eat with friends and family. I think the best way to get to know someone is over a good meal and bottle of wine!
