Overview
About Me
I am from London. I love eating out, watersports, escape rooms, and long hot baths. I love films and going to the theatre.
I went to Newcastle University for my MEng (2016-2021) and Christ Church, University of Oxford for my PGCE (2021-2022).
I've worked in project management, naval architecture, and teaching.
I'm LGBT+ friendly, like animals, don't smoke, and only drink socially.
I can show people around in London/Newcastle/Oxford/Plymouth. I would love to teach others about British culture and what we have to offer.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people and find there is no better way to get to know an area or culture than through the locals.
I think hosting makes the world kinder and friendly place. I believe in community ❤️
