Overview
About Me
I've just finished university and I am taking a year to travel and see the world! I am easy-going and friendly and love meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. I am a keen cook, a football fanatic and a music enthusiast. I'm excited to see the world one couch at a time. Bring it on!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet new people and experience different cultures. I have found that staying in hostels does not offer the same experience. All my favourite moments since I have started travelling have been when I have been out with locals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I coached a football team in peru for 6 weeks. Despite not speaking a word of spanish at the beginning, by the end I was running up and down the line giving the players instructions. As well as giving me the opportunity to work with children from difficult backgrounds I also was working with 2 kids from the national team. It was such a great opportunity to get to know a special group of people and their families. By far the best thing I've ever done!!!
