About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet people from all corners of the globe!

ABOUT ME

Just got back from 6 months of study in the UK and backpacking in Europe and Asia. It's been such an eye-opening experience; itching to get away again soon, but in the meantime I'm stuck at uni. I love meeting people from other countries and having a bit of a yarn about life and travels.

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studying abroad in the UK was the best six months of my life. I met incredible friends from all over the world and we had many crazy and amazing times together.

Met a complete stranger one evening at the Trevi fountain who took me on a spontaneous walking tour of Roma, complete with gelato.
