CURRENT MISSION

Exploring and working in Iceland

ABOUT ME

I'm a 22 year old girl who's just graduated from Manchester University with a degree in Social Anthropology. I loved studying this subject and I'd like to do a PhD in it one day. For now I just want to travel and work overseas, try my hand at film making and music production and meet new people. Eventually I would like to do advice work with refugees or go into nursing with Medicins Sans Frontiers.

PHILOSOPHY

Have a cup of tea, put a record on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hoping to stay with couchsurfers in Iceland then when I get back to England and have a place of my own I can return the favour!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as an official couchsurfer but I stayed with newly met people in Thailand and Hungary and had great times!

Interests

Anthropology, photography, super 8 films, working with refugees, DJing (just learning the ropes), working at film and music festivals, horse riding, gymnastics, taekwondo, flea markets. I hope to do an animation and a music production course on return from iceland.
