About Me

I am always focusing on the bright side of things, and always looking to do and learn something new. Somethings I can say about myself are that:
I love being out in nature.
I am a current PhD student in London doing spatial analysis of the food environment.
I'm a yoga instructor and that
I enjoy the simple pleasures of life like reading, having a good conversation, a cup of tea, watching the sunset and hiking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, learning new languages, trying new foods and I think it's nice to continuously learn new things and what better way than from people.
