Hi, I’m Holly 🦋🌺💜 I am 26 years old and live in England! I have been luck enough to travel around the world in the last few years with my partner Asher . Whilst backpacking, we used Couchsurfing a lot and it always was one of my favourite part of the trip and. We love to meet local people, make new friends and share experiences and culture. I love to learn from you and hear about your life experiences. I speak English and a little Spanish. I work for a university in technology. I am a friendly, sociable and relaxed person who loves to meet new people. My undergraduate degree was in Humanitarian Response and I completed a Master’s Degree in Internatinal Development, focusing on conflict, poverty and reconstruction just before we went travelling in 2023!

Почему я на Couchsurfing
I joined Couchsurfing with Asher as a way to have a different travel experince and meet new friends. We now want to return the favour!
Музыка, кино и книги
I absolutely love to read. I try to read as widely as possible and am always open to a recommendation! Last year, I read 64 books and this year I would like to beat this record! I like art, particularly graffiti and street art, I wrote my thesis on the impact it can have on society. I always love to seek out local art and creativity wherever I go.
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
- I volunteered at an animal shelter in Santorini. Greece. The shelter was home to over 80 dogs, 40 retired working horses and donkeys and many more farm animals living in happy coexistence. - I was part of a research trip to Uganda for my Master’s Degree in 2023. I was in a refugee settlement for three weeks meeting host and refugee communities. - Asher and I snorkelled with sharks, stingrays and coral in Caye Caulker, Belize. - We did an amazing Workaway with our friend Miguel in March 2024. We spent three weeks in a small town in Honduras. He kindly welcomed us into our home, where we shared meals, exchanged culture, and worked on art projects together. It was a joy.
Учить, учиться, делиться
I love learning about different cultures, languages, foods, tradition and history. It is incredibly valuable to share in the joy of this, exchanging this through meals, photos and conversation. I would love to share my culture with you, cook a delicious vegetarian meal, help you learn English.
Что я могу предложить хостам
I am a vegetarian and love to eat colourful, delicious meals. 🥗🥦🍅🫑🌽 I love having conversations about life experiences and perspectives. To me, these meaningful conversations and insights into different cultures and people is what travelling to new places is all about. If you are learning English, I would be happy to help you with this! We can speak and teach each other our native languages!
