I am originally from London, Before this, I was living in Aberdeen for my masters degree in Marine Ecology at the University of Aberdeen. I used to live in Botswana in the 90's, and lived in Auckland, New Zealand in 2013. I have previously lived in Scotland for 2 years.

I am passionate about the ocean and enjoy the outdoors; whether that's hiking, climbing or kayaking. I like exploring new places, spotting wildlife and meeting new people.

I enjoy meeting people from diverse cultures and having conversations on any subject.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really keen to travel and explore Europe more!
