About Me

ABOUT ME

I did my high school in Swaziland, lived on a ship for four months, university in France, worked in Belgium for a bit, and now working in Kenya! I love hitch-hiking, which sums up a lot of how I see the world (trust people!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCH-SURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with people around the world, and always love getting to know the different people and how their lives are. Now that I've got a flat, I'm finally hosting!

Interests

Exploring, hitch-hiking, mountain-hiking, mathematics, women's rights, education, travel, sociology, gender studies, experimenting to see if I can cook food which isn't entirely disgusting. I'm also kind of a language junkie, because linguistics are absolutely fascinating (even though I'd hate to study them formally in school).

And I really like just listening to people. Even when I disagree, they always wind up having some valid idea that I had never thought about before.
