About Me

Bit of an old school adventurer, grew up in the beautiful Kent Countryside, moved to London for University and have worked in both London and New York. Currently very lucky to have the "proper grown up job" i always wanted and able to travel around this and as part of it. Studied theatre and used to act, still write creatively but currently employed by the government - volunteering and working with kids in my free time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Slowly travelling around the world when i can. i have used couch surfing before and its a wonderful opportunity to see another side to destinations and meet genuine people on my way. looking forward to meeting other travellers, locals and hopefully one day repaying the favour.
