I graduated last year from Leeds University and decided to postpone getting a graduate job by travelling for as long as possible. I have been travelling/working in Australia since September.

I love a good challenge, meeting new people and generally up for a good laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet fascinating and interesting people who also share a passion for travel. I also feel staying with locals will help me to fully emerse myself in their culture. I want you to show me the parts that other tourists wouldn't usually go to!!

Interests

Being outdoors generally! I love a good hike, going rock climbing and kayaking.

I have also been to many music festivals both as a volunteer and a patron. I love the whole vibe and community at festivals, I want to go to as many as possible across the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a very broad music taste!! If I am wanting a bit of a boogie I love a bit of reggae or techno. If I am wanting some chill or down time then I love some folk. But generally I will listen to anything and I really enjoy seeing some live music, so if you know of any good local gigs going down I would be very keen!!

I love Wes Anderson films, especially if they have Bill Murray in. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is too good. In general just anything a bit quirky/weird suits me. Also love a good documentary such as Searching for Sugar Man or Cowspiracy.

Books, I love anything to do with history! Hence my history Degree. Currently reading Wild Swans. Also love something a bit intense, Lolita and Junkie are two good books I have read recently.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have hiked the Atlas Mountains and we went to the highest peak Toubkal. We reached it just as the sun was rising. It was such a magical moment, something I will never forget.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will provide you with some good dry British humour and share some of my history knowledge. I mainly specialised in Communist China in my final year of my degree.

Hopefully a long term friendship! In return of your hosting you are more than welcome to come crash with me when I finally have a stable base, whether that be in The UK, Australia or New Zealand.
