CURRENT MISSION

Viva la vida.

ABOUT ME

I'm 27 and working as a junior doctor (I also have an undergrad in neuroscience if you like that type of thing). I have a pretty packed life by choice, but occasionally look to unwind. I've had the travel bug for sometime now, always hoping on a plane at any opportunity for the past 8 years. Although I have my formal education, I feel I've learnt a lot more from travelling than I have from lectures.

PHILOSOPHY
Live Love Learn Laugh
See and experience everything we can, life is for living!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I become settled in a place I am allowed to host, I would like to try that. For now, we can share experiences, create new memories together, become friends, and it's always handy to have a doctor about :P

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed in France, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Oz, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Nicaragua, Israel and Brazil. I have met some fantastic people so I am keen to meet many more travellers and share experiences.

I really love meeting new people and travelling, my friends usually won't join me so I just make new friends (like though this site) as there is nothing better than seeing a city/country through the eyes of someone that lives there.

Now that I have begun working, I often stay in hotels rather than couchsurf. This is more because I am often exhausted and escaping between shifts, thus don't want to be a boring surfer and want to sleep too much! That said, I still love to meet people!

Interests

I have lots of interests and they constantly change: I get hooked to new things all the time. Currently I love dancing/ I am quite the wine fanatic so if you are also a wine enthusiastic then thats great. I LOVE the water: one of my biggest passions is diving and I go whenever I can, and also love skiing.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite movies are probably The Intouchables (the beautiful French masterpiece not the gangster movie), Pretty woman, Notting Hill, Love Actually, The Holiday. Yes, I realise I have a cheesy movie taste, but do occasionally enjoy some action films.

I like to read a lot, from non-fiction such as Thinking Fast and Slow, Predictably Irrational, to biographies like Jack Ma's, to absolute girly rubbish like 50 shades.

I think Alexa often wonders what is going on, when I ask her to play some classic jazz, switch to techno, chilled acoustic covers, classical or a little bit of Reggaton.

I dance salsa and bachata, so I listen to a fair amount of latin music
