About Me

Since finishing my degree in politics I've been working for non-profits doing community organising. I'm about to take a big leap and move to the US for a tenant organising Job in NYC.

I love bringing people together to change the world, both in my personal and professional life.

I spend a huge amount of time outdoors, cycling, running, climbing and walking and am always looking for new adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Part 2: I'm at the end of 6 month of joyous travels in the US and central America, as always couchsurfing has been a big part of those travels and i'm extremely thankful for the wonderful couchsurfers i've met who made my trip beyond incredible!

Part 1: I couchsurfed when i travelled over 4 years ago and it was an incredible experience, i met the best people and have since loved hosting friends of friends whenever i can.

Interests

Outdoors and adventure.

Music, guitar, piano, singing, flute and general jamming!

Politics and activism. I've been involved in activism since I can remember. I was part of the anti war movement and school students against war. Since I was 15 I've been involved in LGBT rights work, fighting for lgbt rights in my school, university, community and country. I'm also a keen feminist activist and enjoy creating strong feminist spaces.
I spent the last few years involved in various growing communities and building projects to stop food waste.
