About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore, experience and learn as much I can whilst I'm young!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm an Architecture student from Plymouth, and I try and travel for a month once a year. I'm on my third year now. I've backpacked, I've hitchhiked - but I have a lot to see still!
When I was 18, I took my first interrail trip around Europe with a group of college friends. Learnt a lot about tolerance and living cheap on that trip.
When I was 20, I hitchhiked for charity from Brighton, UK to Zagreb, Croatia. On the way, we visited Lyons, Geneva, Zurich, wagen - we took a bit of a crazy route, and it took us 13 days to get there. The trip taught me to have faith in destiny/fate and to not trust everyone I meet( we got in a bit of a pickle with that- I'll tell you when I meet you!)

I get on with people well- love learning bits of language and I always travel with a pack of cards.

PHILOSOPHY

Things grow, life goes on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing at the moment, but when I'm back in the UK, I will host and do coffee with fellow cs!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very few! We have stayed in trondheim with some great people and had coffee with fellow surfers. But very very new. Please be gentle- sorry if I make mistakes!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big time reader, and I am trying to get through all of the classics at the moment. Dickens, Brontë, Austen, all that stuff. I used to be into music, and was in a band, but uni and things interfered. Still love to play to relax and with family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many experiences! We've seen killer whales in the last week!
I've done a lot of tourist things like ride camels, but I've also had my breath taken away by people's lives and nature. I'm only 20- I have so much to see.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love languages and design. I took maths to a higher education level, but struggled. I'd love to revisit quarks and particle physics when I have the time, as a physics career was abandoned for the love of art and architecture.
