I'm easy-going, friendly and respectful. I love getting to know new people, chatting and sharing experiences. Live music, painting, and cups of tea are some of my favourite things, and I'm happiest in the mountains or on the water!

I grew up near Oxford and studied biology at Sheffield after school, then worked as a healthcare assistant before heading to South America for 9 months working and travelling. Back in England I ended up a marketing job in London during which time I set my heart on a career in medicine. And now somehow here I am as a medical student in Bristol!!

I'm hoping to still fit in travel when I can and look forward to hosting sometime (but sadly at the moment I'm not able to).

Music, Movies, and Books

Do No Harm- a fab book by neurosurgeon Henry Marsh
The Bookthief by Markus Zusak
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hossein is definitely a favourite
100 hours of solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marqez.

Music- I love all sorts (The Who, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Trampled by Turtles, Toots and the Martyls, Eddy Vedder, Jimmy Nail, Leonard Cohen, Flume, Tame Impala, Beiruit ....are a few!), but also have a particular soft-spot for traditional Scottish music.

Films- The Wave, A Single Man, It's a Beautiful Life, Her

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked in a salt mine!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully I can offer good conversation and swap some stories over a drink (or cup of tea!)
