Hi! I'm a medical student studying at Leicester (UK), which I love! The city is great because although it may not seem amazing on the outside, when you scratch beneath the surface there is a surprising amount on offer. And I love exploring somewhere so it suits me to the ground!

I grew up in Norwich and have lived in Cardiff and Bristol too, I feel very lucky to have so many interesting places on my doorstep, but I haven't seen as much of Europe as I would have wanted, so am looking to change that! Having new experiences, immersing myself in something different and making strangers into friends is what I travel for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems like a decent platform to meet new people in an unknown city and finding somewhere more than just a place to sleep.

Sadly cannot host at the moment as I'm renting shared house, but its definitely something I want to get involved with when I'm more settled with my own place!

Music, Movies, and Books

Its difficult to say really, with music/books/movies its not so much a preferred genre as much as anything that I can get lost in. Though I would have to say that Old Boy is one of my all time favourite movies, as its one of the few that has left me truly speechless by the credits.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't really know what to write in this box, is 'learning from each other' too cheesy?? I guess sharing experiences and trading stories would be cool.

I mean, if you wanted to know about eyes I used to be an optometrist so can bore you to death about them if you really want and if you get a contact lens stuck I could help you out there too :P

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experiences, memories and friendships... I feel like I'm still being too cheesy!
