About Me

Hi there,
I'm a 25 year old from the UK, born and raised in Oxford.I love travelling to new places, meeting new people and particularly eating local food and listening to local types of music. And I'm always wanting to talk to people so I can learn more about the country I'm travelling in - particularly its history and its politics. I love to be outside hiking and one of my main hobbies recently has been climbing (though I'm still quite new to it)

Currently I'm travelling around Spanish speaking countries to try and improve my Spanish before starting a new job in September. Would be great to meet some lovely people along the way.

So if you'd be up for showing me around your area or putting me up on your couch it would be wonderful to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it’s a fantasti idea! Wherever I've travelled I've always loved getting to know people along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - All kinds of stuff. I have particular love for Talking Heads, Tame Impala and A Tribe Called Quest, Im always keen to discover new things!
Films -Coen Brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson, early Tarentino, Michael Haneke or anything with Daniel Day Lewis.
Books - mainly 20th century literature. Love George Orwell, Steinbeck, Corman McCarthy, Tolstoy, Ngozi Adichie, Rohinton Mistry. A Fine Balance is probably the best book I've ever read!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping with friends by the Dead Sea in Jordan, staying up all night with a make shift barbecue and plenty of arak, and then watching the sunrise!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to help people with their English. And would love to speak Spanish with people as well and learn how to cook local types of food.
