Hey, I'm Yasmin - a 21 year old medical student in Manchester currently doing a Masters! I love travelling and meeting people of different cultures. I wholeheartedly believe you can squeeze your life into a backpack, the most free I've felt is when I've been travelling. I also try to live a sustainable life as an aspiring vegan .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that the best way to experience true culture is to live with the locals. Couchsurfing offers this in the best sense. I sometimes travel alone and couchsurfing offers a great way to meet people of a similar mindset with great stories to share!

Interests

I love adventure sports and keeping active! When travelling I try to balance sightseeing and nightlife well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think I've been lucky enough to do a lot of amazing things so far in my life, it would be hard to pick! Probably scooting the Hai Van pass in Vietnam, trekking in the Himalayas in Northern India (despite the tortuous journey to get there!) and living in an ashram in Rishikesh.
