Hi! :D

I'm a 26yr old female human being. I spent my childhood in Germany before moving to Birmingham, UK when I was 7.5yrs old. I went to Aberystwyth University, where I studied Maths and Film & Television. I've never owned a television, yet somehow managed to pass! :P

I currently live in north Oxford with my boyfriend.

I love getting to know new people. Without sounding too motivational-poster-y, I really believe everyone has something unique and interesting to offer! :)

I'm interested in the arts, sciences and humanities equally. I love logic puzzles and boardgames, but also watching films, reading, and spending time in nature.

WARNING: I'm kinda loud and a little bit* hyper. If you come to stay, don't bring Haribo if you want to get any sleep... :P

I like having big discussions/debates on a wide range of topics :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was the production assistant for a BBC documentary about the health issues of pedigree dogs.
