Hello, I am Polly and I love travelling more than anything. I have a special interest in nature and particularly mountains. I love hiking and have completed several long distance-treks in my home country and abroad. My dream is to travel around Asia and the Middle East as well as Africa.

However, I am interested in culture too and wouldn't say no to visiting more traditional "touristy" and historical places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think meeting new people is the most enriching thing about travelling. We are lucky in this day and age that we can travel so much and places like CS make it more affordable and easier than ever. It also allows those of us who are bound to day jobs to meet fellow travellers from across the world even when we are unable to travel ourselves.

Interests

I would love to trek in the Himalayan and Karakorum ranges again. I would also like to trek around Patagonia and Central America. I would love to do some sailing and visit Antarctica.
