About Me

I love to travel, and have been lucky enough to do lots of it. Most recently, I travelled across Europe and Asia by train, ending up in beautiful Kyrgyzstan - one of my favourite destinations so far.

I have been working in travel for a few years (at a hostel in Bolivia, a hotel in Japan, and as a travel writer in Bristol) but am now excited to be making a move into the film industry, specifically prop-making.

I usually travel solo, but I'm currently driving around Europe with two friends, and we're keen to meet anyone we can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I usually travel on my own, couchsurfing is the perfect way to meet other like-minded people on the road.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm interested in prop-making & love seeing how movies are made behind the scenes. I also love reading (I studied literature at university) and couldn't possibly choose one favourite book!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycled the Chinese Karakoram Highway. My ass has never forgiven me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you practise English, and would love to practise speaking French, Spanish, Japanese or Mandarin with you.
