Hi there!

I am currently studying International Relations at The University of Nottingham. I caught the travel bug whilst on my year abroad and want to continue to explore new cultures, meet new people and see the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard of couch surfing through other travellers and listening to them tell me about it made me sign up. While I haven't couch surfed yet, I am excited to see the opportunities it will open up for me in the country I'm visiting. While staying in hostels is fun, one only gets a small tourist centric version of the city however, through couch surfing I will hopefully be able to see a gritter underground version of the city from the perspective of a permeant resident.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While not amazing in the most positive of senses, I found my visit to the War Remnants museum in Saigon was eye opening. Having lived in America for four years my version of the Vietnam/American War was very American-centric. However, after witnessing the pictures in this museum, which brought my close to tears, I was told the other side of the story.
